The problem is the Boomers were actually right about the "phones", but they also succumbed to it and are just as addicted as everyone else now. It's not just news either. People are shifting views massively on mental health through social media sharing with people who are either nefariously sharing damaging content, or are doing so unknowingly. I see that one as a possibly larger issue in the long term than even the news one.
