It seems like any news report shared on Twitter or YouTube is inundated with "fake news" claims: comments calling out something for being "liberal propaganda" or "paid for by Russia." Most often these claims are just a way of dismissing facts or analysis that someone disagrees with. The thing is, there are bigger, more harmful examples of bias and bad reportage.

It's important that this is achieved, because as Biggs and Tang (2011) argue, students create their own meaning from their experiences, by seeking out learning engagement.
