Politico’s latest media analysis has branded Gen Z the “most gullible generation,” exposing their susceptibility to viral misinformation, and conservatives are eating it up, sources have confirmed.
The report, dissecting TikTok-driven news habits, found 68% of 18- to 29-year-olds trust influencers over journalists, swallowing clickbait conspiracies like “5G causes time travel.”
“They’ll believe anything with a filter!” crowed one X post, as GOP pundits blamed “woke schools” for killing critical thinking.
Gen Z’s obsession with X and short-form videos, Politico argues, fuels their fall for fake news, with 45% sharing unverified posts daily.
Liberals rushed to defend the youth, claiming older generations are just as duped, but the right gleefully piled on, tying it to Gen Z’s “snowflake” rep.
Data shows they’re 30% more likely to fall for scams than Boomers.
As of press time, a Gen Z influencer was selling “anti-5G crystals” for $99 a pop.
As a charter member of the Boomer generation, I don’t believe Gen Z is that stupid. With access to more information than anyone can possibly consume, they eat from the pile of manure? No. This hopefully is Fake News. Please let it be Fake News for the sake of humanity.
Very much agree.
Isn’t this whole thing satire? Oh wait, maybe your comment is also satire? Ahh hahaha funny!
some of the commentary makes one think there are people who think this is a hard news site, vs a satirical entertainment site.
Nope his articles are written this way due to censorship
Matter of fact this is hitting the news
Censorship is very much alive and well .
These generations have been taught to fall for lies. Millennials on down can’t even define what a source is correctly.
Have you watched those who thought they were not going to have TikTok . Insanity comes to mind Joey Btoonz shows their breakdowns. They are threatening to kill themselves over that thing
