Kagi News has been pretty accurate. Source information is provided along with the summary and key details too.

AI summarizes are good for getting a feel of if you want to read an article or not. Even with Kagi News I verify key facts myself.

How do you verify a fact? Do you travel to the location and interview the locals? Or read scientific papers in various fields, including their own references, to validate summaries published by news sources? At some point you need to just trust that someone is telling the truth.

It may help to set penalties for someone not telling the truth.
