Just a single study, but found that boomers were better at identifying misinformation.

I’ve seen several to the opposite, that they were more susceptible to misinformation like Fox News

Tbf I noticed a lot of millennials and genz are really bad at generalizing boomers into one category and fail at knowing when exactly boomers were born. I’ve seen genz call millennials boomers. They aren’t exactly shining examples of common sense or any real information that is usable for anyone. Just online cat fights.

I prefer the lead gas line. Anyone who remembers leaded gasoline can be generally categorized as boomers.
