TEACHING OLDER AMERICANS TO IDENTIFY FAKE NEWS ONLINE

Now, millions of older Americans are reading their news online, mostly on Facebook, and then forwarding it to their friends and family. A new study out of Princeton and NYU found that, in the lead-up to the 2016 election, adults over 65 were seven times more likely than those under 29 to post articles from fake news domains. These results echo a study published in early 2018 concluding that, in the weeks leading up to the presidential election, Americans over 60 were the most likely of any age group to visit fake news sites.

The real fake stuff, not the kind our idiot OP likes to pretend is fake. Sadly, these folks vote based on this nonsense.
