AT: When I taught (40 years ago and more) I did a Social Studies unit on "facts and opinions and critical thinking"....Today, especially with the anonymous internet and entire "fake news" sites, we don't have much in the way of "reliable" truth.....and most sources often "mix" facts and opinions in their reporting.  It's really tough to know what is "real" and what is not.  Plus, as polarized as we are today, what I may be very ready to accept as "real", someone else is convinced is "fake".  The CIA,FBI,NSA reports on Russia's involvement in hacking and influencing the election is an excellent example.  

It's really tough to find "the truth" today.....regards, Gary
