Скачать или смотреть Critical Thinking Live: Trump, Venezuela, Xenophobia, & Spin

Tonight we went full “master class” on how to read headlines like a critical thinker — not a doom-scrolling hostage.

We dug into:

Trump’s December 17, 2025 address and the competing narratives around it

Venezuela in the headlines: what’s actually being claimed vs what’s being implied

How proximity and history (hello, Cuban Missile Crisis) shape fear-based messaging

The “drug boat” discussion: logistics, distance, and why some stories don’t math out

What xenophobia actually means — and how it shows up in news framing, entertainment, and pop culture

Why “trending on X” can be… let’s just call it brain rot with occasional breaking news

Key takeaway: Headlines are marketing. Your job is to run the checks: incentives, framing, missing denominators, and primary sources.
