Hahahahaha! Harvard, snort. To be sure, Camera Hogg will be further investigating this study and FR will be sharing humorous retorts.
Sorry, Harvard. Intelligent elderly conservatives share fake news to make others aware of the lies.

The article refers to "debunked site", but doesn't give examples of any.
Also, the article says: "People who called themselves liberals essentially shared no fake stories, Guess said." Really???
To: bgill
Did the use a liberal “fact checker” to verify this?

Sure, if you mean “fake” by the standard lib definition of stuff they don’t agree with.

All the Democrat MSM have become pathological liars.
Just like Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama.
They like him because they are just like him, at heart.

That’s crap. The older people probably shared more conservative content, which was then labeled by the “researchers” as fake news.

TRANSLATION: Older people remember when news organizations reported objective facts, not opinion disguised as news.
Young people have grown-up with the New News and can't recognize the distinction.
Older people share "false information" because they know they're not getting facts anymore and no longer trust the MSM.
To: bgill
Some definitions to keep in mind when reading this study:
false information = opinions that we enlightened progressives do no agree with
facts = opinions we enlightened progressive professors hold.
