On one hand this is a (potentially) great initiative, but on the other it’s a bit suspect/sketchy. IF you believe that you’re immune to fake news, THEN you’re a prime candidate for being conditioned by it.
Critical thinking, the ability to perform actual research (not seeking only sources which agree with your bias), and skepticism go a long way in combating “Fake News”, but there’s no way that the US Education system is ready to effectively address it when they can’t provide basic financial literacy through Grade School.
One of the methods you can use to be less influenced by propaganda is by learning how to identify it.
When I went to school in the 90s they taught about verifying your sources to determine if they are credible. Like why you would use NPR as a valid source for information, but not Weekly World News and other tabloids.
I guess they just updated what they call that process?
