The problem cannot be solved by treating adults like children or by imposing censorship. Education and increasing awareness of the problem is one way to solve it. But those in power probably don't want a population with good critical thinking skills, because those in power will lose their ability to manipulate or otherwise control the population. And when I mean those in power, it's not just the government, it's those making the headlines in the newspapers, our managers in the workplace, and even our parents. All of them would, on some level at least, be against us having excellent critical thinking skills. Because to do so, is a threat to power in general, especially illegitimate power. And should be encouraged as much as possible.
