But I don't think it's that hard or time consuming to fact check the news you read. Some people don't have the skills, yeah, which is why we should focus on teaching them critical thinking. That's not an argument for not trying to teach them.

- viraptor 8y agoIt really depends on the article. Throw enough specialist jargon in the article and it will take hours to really understand 2 paragraphs. And fact checking may not be enough anyway. You can selectively report facts which seem to tell any story you want - everything will be correct, but could miss the bigger context, so what you learn is opposite to what you should learn from reality.
