  Reading, arguing, analysis.

  CT skills are also acquired by realising you've been suckered by some bogus idea, then backtracing to find out what bug in your thought process facilitated the dupe. With the plethora of news articles on the web, and the motivation of news organisations to push out articles as fast as possible, it's often the case that even apparently reliable sources can end up espousing bad, poorly researched or just inaccurate information. With little or no editorial fact checking it's more than ever down to the individual reader to exercise critical thinking.
