With my kids I used the news articles. Showed them how they phrases things depending on who they were covering. How it could manipulate how your brain processed info by the order it is presented. Exposed the bias as a means to control them.
Of course they would come home and try to use teachers opinion. But I predicted 100% what the teacher would say, proving no original thought nor ability to honest debate.
No kid wants to be told how to think. You just got to show them who is trying to.

Good teaching starts at home but the world can also influence them.
Nice tactic!
