Americans over 50 are worse than younger people at telling facts from opinions, according to a new study by Pew Research Center. Given 10 statements, five each of fact and opinion, younger Americans correctly identified both the facts and the opinions at higher rates than older Americans did. Forty-four percent of younger people identified all five opinions as opinions, while only 26 percent of older people did. And 18-to-29-year-olds performed more than twice as well as the 65+ set. Of the latter group, only 17 percent classified all five facts as factual statements. An earlier study by the American Press Institute also found that older Americans were more confident than younger ones in their ability to discern fact from opinion ... despite getting them wrong more often. read more

It truly is a shame and a disappointment that this actually has to be said. It also shows the sorry state of the average American person.

What's sad is that the American people can't trust ANYTHING the President says.
What's pathetic is you giving Trump a pass on his lying.
