    The media literacy angle is interesting but a bit redundant, as all audience
    members develop media literacy skills through regular and persistent
    exposure (semioticians would say audiences learn the codes of the media e.g.
    learning the difference between news and drama say). Studies of even very
    young children (4 year olds IIRC) showed they knew the different between
    cartoons and the news say.

    Education is a great immune system against erroneous beliefs and practices,
    or at least it could be if people paid attention in class...
