(452 posts)I never said that all old folks are stupid and out of touch. The majority of Faux News viewers are over 65, but that doesn't mean that the majority of senior citizens subscribe to those views. The percentage of the population that regularly watches ANY of the cable news channels is very small. Most Americans who watch TV news still get it from one of the big 3 (NBC, ABC, CBS).
There may be some under 30s that are addicted to right-wing BS but most of them aren't watching FOX News. Look at the Tea Party rallies. Very few under 40s at those things.
I think that most 65+ers do lean Republican now. The solidly Republican ones, it seems, are often apathetic toward the concerns of people my age. Their general attitude seems to be, "I've got my Medicare and Social Security, so screw off."
