Skepticism isn’t cynicism. It is just not taking the packaged narrative at face value.

  Call it what you want. Unless there’s something in the reporting to indicate that it is incorrect, then you should take it largely at face value. If you don’t, then go find evidence that counters it and make up your mind.

    I’m not saying the reporting is factually wrong. Facts can be right while the framing still shapes the story in a way that misleads. That’s why skepticism matters. It is about noticing when the narrative is doing extra work.
