I can agree that much of the "news" is largely infotainment. We are still free to change the channel. If the core principles behind media literacy promotes a strong emphasis on channel-changing proficiency, then I might agree to have it taught as an elective in special needs programs. Perhaps we would better served by practicing individual accountability and living by example.

A reasonable point... I'm just curious, what do you find most ignorant about Glenn Beck?
