Is there a recommended way to getting the older generations interested and progressing down the path of education towards media literacy?

Often I find that end users, be it word of mouth parroting from others or broad acceptance of 'you saw it on ___ it must be true (i.e. Dr. Oz)' nearly impossible to combat in conversations with loved ones. As we witness and take part in the continued march of consumerism, advanced forms of psychology are being employed to return the desired ROI to the corporations. I figure the only way to combat this deliberate mis-information is this concept of media literacy.

I loved your Foundation's Triumph. I loved the whole Foundation series, especially since his original books are (nearly) only conversations! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the current state of Science Fiction writing, and what you think would lead a popular return to more positive writing. Thanks!
