"At the same time, seniors are becoming increasingly reliant on the internet for information. Over the last decade, older adults reporting that they get their news from social media rocketed from 8% to 40%. Facebook, one of America’s primary delivery devices for partisan, misleading and outright false information, is growing fastest among people over 50.

My cousin is watching the news most all of his waking hours. Considers himself one of the Most informed of people.... Now let that sink in.

ya think?
