Older people have more grounding in news pre-social media so they don't absorb news the same way as those who have only known news that included internet generated fodder. It doesn't mean older people can't be fooled, but their instincts of what is real and what is false are stronger. It's much more difficult to guard against state generated news that is propaganda, when bombarded with enough of it, it's almost impossible for reality to break through


A good rule of thumb is that if you are constantly reading stuff that makes you angry after 1 or 2 paragraphs, you are reading the wrong news sources
