From one of those comments:

I'm still a teenager, so I've got plenty of time. Who am I to say it's wrong or right? For the most part I believe everything here, but that's because of what I see with the media and everything. This is good. :)

No you whipper-snapper, it's not good.

Sweeping generalisation: I weep for the teenager of today.



Give it 20 years, they'll come around to your point of view eventually.

At least they're interested, that's a beginning.

Apathy is a much bigger problem than being still an uncritical consumer.

I remember the first time I had first hand knowledge of an event that was covered by the media, and how much my personal, eye-witness experience deviated from what I read in the newspaper and saw on TV the next day.

It was a moment of absolute amazement, and then I suddenly realized I'd probably been duped to a greater or lesser extent for years about any number of things.


Maybe, but from my observations being apathetic and being uncritical are closely related.
