When couples can't agree on reliable news sources and fact-check each other constantly

My partner and I keep getting into fights about what news sources to trust and it's gotten so bad that we've started fact-checking each other in real time during conversations. We both think we're being the rational one but we're just exhausting ourselves and I don't know how to get back to actually talking to each other instead of debating.
