If they were really applying critical thinking to bullshit, mainstream media wouldn't be forced to literally put together entire departments dedicated to fighting fake news.
I think you misunderstand the reason they need to fight fake news. It's for the boomers. Kids these days are very media literate and skeptical of everything. It's really all the boomers who are falling for misinformation and spreading it on Facebook.
