I don’t like the headline description of this because I really hate the term “fake news”, given who originated it (or at least who popularized it). Reading the article though, CA seems to refer to it as “media literacy”, which seems more apt, that or “critical thinking skills” would be so much better. Just anything other than the term “fake news”.
the bits and pieces required to recognize ‘fake news’ should already be a part of a required curriculum at a public high school; and i do remember some exercises in one class in particular that compared tabloids to mainstream newspapers. this was in the 1980s, in a fairly progressive part of minnesota.
Silly boy, education is the secondary purpose to school for conservatives. The primary purpose is to create obedient worker drones that do what they’re told.
Critical thinking skills are always antithetical to that.

Can we call the skills “media literacy” and “critical thinking”… and call fake news what it is: propaganda?

He didn’t originate that term. He claims that he did and he appropriated it, but it was in existence long before he started using it.
