A Politico article highlighted the shortcomings Gen Z has when deciphering fact from fiction in the online age, posing the question of whether they are the "most gullible" generation.

A new analysis by the Media Research Center reveals that Generation Z, those born between 1997 and 2012, are the most gullible generation due to their media consumption habits, particularly their reliance on social media for news. The study found that 75% of Gen Z gets their news from social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat, where misinformation is rampant. This has led to a significant portion of young adults believing in conspiracy theories and fake news, such as the notion that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump. The report suggests that the lack of critical thinking skills and media literacy among Gen Z contributes to their susceptibility to misinformation, prompting calls for better education on these topics to combat the spread of false information.
