Feels like simply teaching media literacy would do this job. Is that what they mean? I thought that was a given in any English curriculum.

How about you read the goddamn article

AB 873 passed nearly unanimously in the Legislature, underscoring the nonpartisan nature of the topic. Nationwide, Texas, New Jersey and Delaware have also passed strong media literacy laws, and more than a dozen other states are moving in that direction, according to Media Literacy Now, a nonprofit research organization that advocates for media literacy in K-12 schools.

So yes, it is exactly that.
