I was going to show the Lie Witness News where Jimmy Kimmel asked what people thought of Judge Judy being appointed to the Supreme Court, but then I came across this and thought it more fitting since we’re having such a strange winter.
I hope that these interviews are staged. But I fear that they are not! It makes it imperative that we really teach our students not to believe everything that they read on the Internet. They need to question sources and not be so gullible that authority figures (even reporters with cameras and microphones) are trusted without questioning. You might want your students to look at Nicole’s recent post on Tips for Student Success: CRAP! which stands for Currency,Reliability, Authority, and Purpose.
Enjoy and have a great weekend everyone.
