Nope. The days of younger people consuming their news from the more traditional sources are long gone. But I suspect you knew that before you posted.

Online news isn't traditional, and as younger people get older they will become more conservative in general. Fast forward 40 years and their children will be saying that their views will be dying out.
If you're talking about the Love Island generation, don't put them on a pedestal you really shouldn't.

I suspect it's actually the most widely viewed news outlet because it's all over the celebrity gossip. The newspaper is quite a bit different to the website.
All that this whole thing shows is that while everyone bleats about wanting an unbiased and independent news source, the vast majority just want something that confirms what they already think. It's not a coincidence that the biggest selling newspapers are by far the most biased ones.

True, but apparently over 65s in America were found to be four times as likely to have shared fake news than under 30s and shared seven times as many articles on average. So perhaps the same is true of older people too. I wonder if they're just more likely to share news on social media in general, while younger people are sharing pictures of their Tamagotchis and talking about the latest cassettes.

Lol - had to google that. No, I mean many of todays frightened and belligerent 'gammon' were probably 60's hippies back in the day.

Perhaps you're right, but I think the shift towards a more conservative outlook as younger people get older will happen less and less.
Young people now have far more access to information than ever before, and generally have more awareness of different cultures, lifestyles etc as a result.

the sports section is quite good as well - in terms of content, number of articles

Brillo pad demands the government privatise channel 4. 24 hours later ministers have announced they will discuss it. That's some power there.

To be fair that was in the news back end of last week. They are going to hold a fire sale because when all their traditional seats get pissed off with the north red wall getting a mobile library or a mini-roundabout in the name of levelling up - when the farmers from the shires desert the likes of Andrew Bridgen and when the forgotten 3m who own businesses, are self employed and have had no help can no longer be counted upon they will need to sell C4, the NHS, your and my data and so on to try one last tax give away to keep even a small majority at the GE. That is also why despite promises we are no nearer solving social care costs - the only viable answer being your granny sells her home and gives the cash to the owner of a private care home - they can't possibly ever reveal the truth - it did for Mayday
