Jon Stewart Crushes Fox News In The 2011 Ratings

[The Genealogist]

55. "In my neck of the woods, there are more factors than age."

In my post, I was trying to get away from the age generalization. I said some people in the "offa my lawn/back in my day" crowd are older than 65, some are younger. There are 30-year-olds with that attitude, and 90-year-olds without a hint of the attitude. It is less about age and more about the attitude. Come to think of it, I have heard teens use the "back in my day" lecture with younger siblings in pointing out how Mom and Dad were harder on them than the younger siblings.

What I was trying to say about the FAUX demographic is that the station seems to attract a certain segment of the angry or bitter population of the country, one that thinks it has been denied full happiness because of left-leaning influences, one that is fairly misanthropic, one that longs for good old days that never were. One need not be "of a certain age" to feel like this.
