If that’s true, it is perhaps scary. But to know, you really have to get into the weeds of the population sample they used to determine this figure. Given the wide disparity of individual intellectual capacity, it may not be surprising that 10% of a broad segment of society is that dumb. But do they vote? Do they influence public policy?
A time to worry…Gen Z news sources include channels like Facebook (37%), Google (33%), and YouTube (31%) to catch trending news, as well as Telegram accounts of news publications, like CNA, Kompas, and Mothership, to stay updated. I’m sure it’s all presented with a “no spin zone” angle.
