Oh, goody, just what I need, someone in the MSM telling me how to think about an issue.

Before you flame me, I don't care if he is conservative or pegs the political meter at 3X the liberalism of Hillary. The MSM's job (conservative AND liberal, alike) is not to tell anyone how to think, but to report on facts and allow the reader to determine their own conclusion.

Agreed.

The problem is that so many lack any tools relating to critical thinking, logic, etc (which can almost wholly be laid at the feet of our dismal public education system).

So, what then is the solution? IMO - training the masses to think (or re-think) critically, and not simply accept the so-called conventional wisdom.

Which I think was one of the points of this article.
