In addition to Gil’s great post on How to spot fake news, here’s another toolkit well worth investing in – the (bear with me) Thou shalt not commit logical fallacies poster, freely available in pdf here
So, the next you read a newspaper piece or watch anyone debating or presenting anything, see if you play Logical Fallacy Bingo – spot and tick off the fallacies you see.
Keep doing that and you’ll eventually stop doing it yourself…
Enjoy!
