They’ve grown up online. So why are our kids not better at detecting misinformation?::Recent studies have shown teens are more susceptible than adults. It’s a problem researchers, teachers and parents are only beginning to understand.

I guess they think that being online means that you can quite easily search to see if that thing the TV host said is BS or not in 1 minute. What they didn't consider is that firms pay millions to create studies and then boost those in google so that the 1 minute search only return misinformation.

This is just my personal guess though.
