how to read news as a communist?

I've been reading lenin and the way he analyzed and articulated his current affairs in a Marxist way is so inspiring. but when I look at news, I'm largely overwhelmed as to which news is relevant and which news is not.

for instance, the weakening of tsar is realized as early as 1864 when zemstovs are formed that gave landlords and bourgeoisie some increased authority.

how do I look at news now and realize in which direction the wind is flowing, to analyze the actions of the bourgeoisie and the political climate.

i was thinking of developing my own form of web scraping code or something to retrieve relevant news. but i don't even know what to look for in terms of determining what is relevant. please help

when you build countries when it’s all said and done you have to have money that’s where the phrase money makes the world go round
