About this listen

 How do we become critical consumers of media? How does media hijack or amplify critical thinking? What do heuristics and confirmation bias have to do with this? In this episode, I explore the conditions for great or bad critical thinking and how media users can be more analytical about the information we consume. I talk about how political divisiveness in the U.S. is engineered by media masterminds and how digital literacy skills can help. KEEP UP WITH DR.
