Just don’t do it. It’s a waste of time, makes you feel miserable and does not give you a representative view of what is actually going on in the world. You don’t have to trust me, you can trust others. Also, reading the news doesn’t change a thing. Instead, spend the saved time on actually changing the world (tiny changes do add up!).

If you nevertheless fear you lose track of what is happening, then I suggest that you restrict yourself to one high quality publication (the less frequently published the better), subscribe to it and read only that one source.
