Younger people increasingly get their news from social media, and they're exposed to a more diverse set of news. Meanwhile, older people tend to primarily get their news from traditional media.
There's a similar trend with support of Israel and Palestine https://www.axios.com/2023/10/26/generational-divide-on-the-israel-hamas-war
This shows just how propagandized traditional media is in the west.
Also good to remember that digital media can be just as propogandized if you interact with it at a base level. Shopping around for a wide breadth of sources and opinions should be viewed as standard requirement for forming a more accurate sense of world events.
Completely agree, and I think it's really valuable to see how events are being covered in different parts of the world.
