The more things change, the more they remain the same.Link to Pew Research Center for the People & the Press report, "Younger People Less Knowledgeable".
Excerpt: As in the past, [RG emphasis] younger Americans (ages 18 to 34) are not as knowledge [sic!!!] about the news as are older Americans. On a current event knowledge survey, young adults averaged 5.9 correct answers out of 12 news-based questions, fewer than the averages for Americans ages 35 to 49 (7.8) and above age 50 (8.4).
