In Common Core, a major standard calls for the understanding and development of the credibility of sources, a higher order thinking skill necessary for the Effective Speaking and Listening standard for 11 th and 12 th graders. But what are the views of the teachers who develop these strategies and are they aware of media bias and contradiction? This study illustrates the results of a survey sent out to high school social studies teachers about their perceptions of television media. Results suggest that there is a discrepancy between high school social studies teachers' perceptions of television news for personal viewing as compared to classroom use.
