Critical Thinking is a must in order to survive these days!

Its a paramount obligation to teach our children how to consume information, just because news sources now forms clusters of media brands and franchises under the control of a bunch of owners.

As a dad (and blogger) I’m concerned with the integrity of the news and entertainment my family and I consume every day. Who really produces, owns and airs the shows my kids are glued to every evening and which companies select the stories I read with such loyalty each morning? I’ve always advocated for critical consumption, and what could be more important than an awareness of the sources of our families’ daily info and entertainment diets?
