What is reading the news critically?Show answer
Critical reading means asking a few steady questions of any report. Whose voices are quoted, and whose are missing? What does the headline want me to feel before I read on? What does the chosen image suggest?
What is quote the exact loaded word, then name its opposite?Show answer
