It is a complicated subject. I teach college and I try to include some media literacy. We tell them to be skeptical but then they say "you can't trust the media" but then they believe every stupid conspiracy that confirms their biases and then in papers they cite "google" because they can't be bothered to take the time to figure out where something actually comes from. (This literally happened in one of my classes yesterday.)
