The way my dad taught me was by getting different newspapers and a highlighter. He would read articles and then highlight the slants and points of interest. After a year of so of this I was given the highlighter and told to highlight what the sentences where they were trying to influence the reader. Edit: we did this every single morning.

That's interesting. Can I ask what age this occurred ?

It started pretty young around eight years old. It started with just pointing out the differences in the same headline stories throughout the different papers. At that time, newspapers had just begun leaving out the race of black perpetrators so he'd get me to pay attention to that. He would ask me to look at the name of the reporter and then he'd ask me the origin of the name. I knew the difference between 'berg and 'burg from a young age.

1984? May be a bit young

Thank you. To young I would think.
