I read online news everyday to keep me in the picture about what's happening around the world.

To tell someone the truth about something that they had not understood or received false information

The verb "put/keep" should be conjugated according to the sentence's tense.

Do you see anything wrong?
People are always inclined to flatter or please a rich man by laughing at his joke which may not be a very good one.
Everyone at the table always flatter the boss by praising his humor. A rich man's jokes are always funny.
