You need to teach your kid to trust the vast network of reliable media and real experts - that if something horrible happens, then it will come out on most of the RELIABLE media, that the actually educated and respected people will talk about it.

Your child may be a skeptic, but that should be easy to fix by teaching him or her to be a BETTER skeptic. To learn to apply skeptical criteria to other skeptics.

Skeptics are kind of morons. The Amazing Randy forums (las I checked a few years ago) were full of Ron Paul Fans. Penn Jillette was active in the early stages of the Tea Party and even co-hosted one live on Fox News with Glenn Beck. I have my doubts about modern skepticism.
