The problem is that since you use stuff you read from one source to help you evaluate stuff you read from another source, the more and the more disparate the sources the better. If you don't do that, than what you believe just tends to be what you want to believe, and what you want to believe tends to be the things that allow you to do what you want to do, and things that validate your past decisions (to fight guilt and regret.)

Millennials are growing up in an environment completely filled with a lot of paid for bullshit information, and can only find culture that isn't venal dishonest marketing controlled by Baby Boomers in the cracks between commercials. I get why they hate information. I'm from Gen X - I've had to walk for a half-hour to get to a payphone to call someone who may or may not be home (depending on if someone I ran into the day before told them that I would call, for which they remained home and near the phone.) Space was limitless back then. Millenials know they've been robbed, and that makes me happy with them and hopeful.
