Something similar happened in Baltimore after some police were charged in connection with Freddie Gray's death.

Thank you. I certainly agree that critical thinking and media literacy skills are important. My point is that if we assume we don't have broadly trustworthy media outlets or similar sources of information in the first place, we'll never get to the truth through critical thinking alone.

This sounds great, but can you spell out for us how people are supposed to actually do this? None of us personally are able to observe all newsworthy events in person and/or speak with eyewitnesses, which is why we have a press (however imperfect it may be).

See, the thing for Grandpa to do in this situation nowadays is to simply complain on Reddit about his ordeal being stuck next to a crying baby and a mom who "wouldn't do anything about it."
