It’s been urgent since the beginning of the rise of electronic mass media a hundred years ago. I’m sure we’ll get to it some day.
I had a detecting propaganda workshop when i was a kid in a school in the US. Its not mandatory everywhere, but we do teach these things
And I don’t mean this in any mean way, but how much propaganda did you learn to detect? Like understanding that the american dream is a propaganda?
Me? I thought the class was dumb because it was super obvious. But I’m inherently skeptical, and I do think its important to have for most people who don’t think critically.
I can’t remember the details, but I suspect it was things like who wrote it? Are the claims cited? Who are they citing? Is it peer reviewed? What is the author trying to convey? What type of language is being used? Who is the target audience? Etc
