Where do your facts come from? How do you discuss politics if you can't trust sources?

After bouncing around conservative, socialist, liberal, libertarian and everything in between discussions, I've noticed a concerning thing. They can't seem to agree on what is or isn't a fact. Sources are demanded, then quickly dismissed because "fake news"/liberal media/right wing.. Etc.
Even the long trusted middle-ish grounds are doubted (personally I think that's NPR, PBS, and BBC).
Fack checking sources like Snoops or Fact Check are also looked at with doubt.
This is one (there are many) of the huge issues I see with politics in general, but how can we hope to address or solve anything if people refuse to believe anything that doesn't support their sources or even more dangerous, their belief?
How can you solve any issue if your math, science, history is different from your counter parts?
