There's a great deal of truth in what the young folks are saying; however, it troubles me that they (if they are like your son) get their news in 30 second bits, which is not the medium for complexity. And issues are complex.

It's all right however people, young or not, get news and in what increments because we can complicate the discourse and delve into complexities together. We can lead others in learning how to critique strong sources alongside weak and unreliable ones. We have many older reasonable adults in our citizenry quite satisfied with a functional literacy. This used to piss me off. Still does (think trump voters). Sounds like the young adults Mills talked among are moving quite well into critical literacy realms.
