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???

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.

The elderly are pretty much all that’s left on Facebook.

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.

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.

Elderly, conservatives shared more Facebook fakery in 2016This assumes that AP, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, The NY Times, the Washington Post and all the rest the crap that the young skulls full of mush watch and read, are not fake.
This is fake news about fake news.
