'healthy skepticism' My point was that teaching people to just trust what they read has lead them astray. They used to trust the 'mass media' who largely hewed to the 'the establishment' line. Now that the mass media isn't the only source of information for most people, they'll believe basically any nonsense. People should be skeptical of the establishment media. They should be skeptical of everything. What you need to teach people is how to properly apply skepticism to figure out what might or might not actually be true, and why.
