I always thought a healthy dose of skepticism was considered a good thing. We can't always take what we read at face value.

You don't need an excuse to be skeptical. Skepticism is healthy.

I tend to think that skepticism is a good thing.

Being skeptical shouldn't mean being ignorant. Being skeptical should mean Trying to understand the pros and cons and believing it's not worth it.

You say it as if it's a bad thing, but being skeptical of everything probably the most prudent option in almost any circumstance.

Neither is particularly healthy. Either staying level-headed and analytical or simply admitting ignorance would be healthier. Skeptical/Gullible are two ends of the same crutch for when we are unable or unwilling to do either.
