Critical thinking requires knowledge to work with. A person who doesn’t know what a baby bald eagle looks like, or doesn’t know that baby birds often don’t resemble mini adult birds, likely wouldn’t recognize the left image as fake. Critical thinking skills cannot be separated from knowledge.

Of course, even if someone lacks knowledge on a particular subject, there can be other ways to tell if a source is not reliable. But this again requires knowledge. Obviously people can’t learn everything about every subject, but a broad, general base of knowledge will help many.
