A lot of the difference I believe has to do with how we consume news, and more specifically from where. My parents (baby boomers) consume news in a very traditional way. They read the local newspaper, and watch network news. On the other hand, myself, and other people my age get news from the internet. The difference is a lot of the articles that really are fueling the outrage are not coming from "traditional" sources. The Guardian for instance is not something my parents would ever read.
