I'd argue that it's not the kids who don't watch the news it's the grown ups who don't. It's not the kids that I find misinformed but the older generation - they're far more gullible and easy to fool than young people. The middle age generation (folks in my realm) don't have the time to consume the news anymore - they're tied up with the kids, overworked, and/or looking after the parents.
It's the kids who are the most informed (in general) - sure, there are the disenchanted young white males but the youths (under 30) crowd are more informed than ever IMO. Their news may come from social media but they know how to discern fake news better than grown ups do.
