Fake media

With some of the utter drivel I've read in/from the far right wing media over the last few years (e.g., this, but also this), I've sometimes thought we should be using the expression "fake media", rather than fake news. 

However, the big driver with media is what sells/ gets clicks - on all sides. And the best reaction to that is still, in my opinion, teach children better critical thinking - beginning with being able to see through the business propaganda (aka "advertising") that Edward  Bernays  developed, and continuing with basic lessons for EVERYONE in rhetoric, which will help with seeing through political spin to substance, and civic/citizenship education, to how to analyse what is seen in professional media and social media - which has been underway in an ad hoc way for adults for some time now. 

That way, it won't matter as much what is published- by anyone - in the media or on social media: people will not be so easily duped. 

There is still a need to manage lies and deception, but that is a different topic to my point here - as is what to do adults who are gullible over the next half century after the above is effectively and uniformly implemented.
