  @Bill - Yes, your thoughts definitely make sense. Although I would quibble with one point - I think we always should've been teaching our students to look for bias, even when we supposedly had better validation.
  
  I think a lot of our issues in this new information landscape stem from all of us assuming for a long time that "respectable" sources have been giving us correct and unbiased information. I'm not suggesting any conspiracy theories here, just that bias is a natural part of this and we should be alert to it.
