> the younger generation has some sophistication about domain names (which are essentially their news sources) in general.

Is that really true though? A lot of the younger folks on my Facebook share stuff from things like "natural-truth-health.net" or "gmo-truth-toxic.tk" or "naturalnews.com".

It makes sense that fewer people who grew up with the internet would be fooled. But there will still be people of every age who lack the sophistication.
