FAKE NEWS SHARED BY BABY BOOMERS, BUT WHY?

For online fans of social media there’s a drumbeat across many platforms saying the same thing: Baby boomers share more fake news than any other demographic. The usual cutoff age is sixty five, so I’ve got another year before I hit that wall. If you are a boomer I’ve got a question: Do […]
