Boomers are memed for falling for fake news but are better at identifying online misinformation than Gen Zers and millennials, survey finds

Young people spend more time online than older generations, but this also means they're more likely to fall for fake news and misinformation.

This headline seems dubious on the face of it.

Did the study results actually show this? If so, could simply spending more time online account for doing worse on this test?

Also, just for fun, you can take the test here. I got two wrong and I have no idea which ones they were 😅

    That’s a good point.

    I’d imagine the gap would close considerably if the participants had access to the entire article and not just the headline.
