I suppose this forum would be no fun otherwise, wouldn't it?
On topic: a little bit of education goes a long way in matters of hard-science, but soft sciences like economics or political science always entail a certain amount of belief. In the case of hard science, you're going to see little bias there and can generally trust what scientists say. For economics, politics, and ethics, your only choice is to get informed.
That's part of the reason why i feel a liberal arts education is worth it, even if it makes for poor yields in the job market (or if you're getting a "practical" degree, you should still put a good few semester-hours into philosophy, theology, politics, and economics). A well-rounded individual is better-able to confidently make these choices about what to believe in, or what horse you should back, and this enables us to live as true individuals rather than as playthings of the media or any propaganda machine.
