Critical thinking is necessary to evaluate information effectively. It involves distinguishing facts from opinions, evaluating supporting evidence, and detecting bias. Facts can be proven true or false, while opinions are subjective judgments that can be supported by evidence from reliable sources. Not all information is accurate, as some writers have political or commercial biases and use emotionally charged language to influence readers regardless of the facts. Developing critical thinking skills allows one to analyze information rigorously and discern what is most important.

Fact vs. opinion stratton 2011
This document discusses the importance of distinguishing facts from opinions in journalism. It provides guidance for journalists on writing objectively using third person rather than first person perspective. Facts should not require attribution unless contested, while all opinions must be attributed to a source. Journalists should report only facts that can be verified and avoid injecting personal judgments. The goal is for news reporting to be credible and avoid legal issues from publishing inaccuracies.

Chapter 8 Wadsworth - Thinking Critically
- 1. Critical Thinking is necessary to be successful in college, careers, and life. The ability to think critically allows one to test and evaluate the validity of information and to distinguish what is important and relevant vs. what is trivial, irrelevant and even illogical. Especially in this interconnected world of instant information and gratification, to sift through the “fluff” and outright deception is important.
- 2. Not all information is true, accurate, or factual, and some writers or companies have a Biased agenda, be it political, commercial or another bias. Often, Emotionally charged language may be used to “get a response” or a specific Outcome whether the information is true or not.
- 3. 1. Distinguishing Fact from Opinion. 2. Evaluating Supporting Evidence. 3. Detecting Bias. Fact vs. Opinion What is a Fact? (102 Wadsworth) What is an Absolute Truth? What is an Opinion? (102). What does “Supported” vs. “Unsupported” Opinion mean? Are Supported Opinions Facts? What are three ways to Support Opinions? (103).
- 4. Evaluating Supporting Evidence All Evidence – no matter what kind – must be Reliable, Sufficient, Representative, and Relevant. Who wrote it? What are their credentials? Is it considered valid/reliable in a particular field of study? Does it have factual errors or even grammar errors/typos? Does it seem fair (non-Biased)? Is the information documented? Why is Wikipedia a good example? Is the evidence sufficient: does it have an adequate amount of information? Does it come from more than one source? No matter how valid or reputable an Expert Opinion is, more than one person/source should be included.
- 5. “Evidence is representative if it reflects a fair range of sources and viewpoints. Writers should not just choose evidence that supports their position and ignore evidence that does not” (Kirszner and Mandell 106). Don’t’ allow Biases to govern choices of evidence. Finally, evidence should be relevant – it must specifically apply to the subject being discussed (see example pg. 105 top). Also, it must be current to be relevant as well. For example, if writing an argument about crime in the United States, don’t use statistics from the 1980s or 1990s to support your claim, unless you are comparing crime rates over the decades.
- 6. Detecting Bias “…the tendency to base conclusions on emotions or preconceived ideas [stereotypes] rather than on evidence (105). Close-Up: Detecting Bias The Writer’s Stated Beliefs Sexist or Racist Language Slanted Language Biased Tone Biased Choice of Evidence Biased Choice of Experts Examples of Bias in the media and News outlets?
