Does the OP think Hillary is a geezer? Won't she be 69 by the 2016 election?

It appears as though Skippy doesn't like the elderly.

Did anyone bother to read to the end of the article. The median age for the three networks were 62, 63 and 68. It's not only Fox that is catering to the geezer crowd, all three are. You are splitting hairs to say there is much difference.

Great, so the Fox News viewer median age is the same as an MSNBC viewer's average IQ.

Maybe, but there is also a lot of difference in the way they vote. Fox Viewers age 68 and above are part of the "silent generation". They have always voted very conservatively and are the last generation to hold a lot of racial prejudices. It was the Fox-Silent Generation that was responsible for the 2010 GOP landslide. These are the same folks on Medicare holding up "Keep Government Out of My Medicare" signs. Not one single baby boomer had turned 65 when the Tea Party-Silent -Fox generation carried the day in 2010. The Tea Party-Silents grew up with Ike, Mitch Miller, Elvis, and supported the war in Vietnam. The Boomers who followed for the most part grew up with the Beatles, JFK and opposed the war in Vietnam.

Maybe there is a problem with your organization.

You are thicker than a redwood tree. I said before that you just don't get it but I guess I have to spell it out like I'm explaining something to a child. Sure fox is available all over Canada. WE don't really care what crap Americans produce about Americans. Watching Fox just makes Canadians all the more sure the USA is very inferior in just so many respects. Now, this is the last time I'm posting the same thing I have already posted umpteen times. YOU COULD NOT PRODUCE IN CANADA AND BROADCAST IN CANADA THE LIES, THE FALSE NARRITIVES, THE PERSONAL ATTACKS AND ALL THE OTHER COMPLETE GARBAGE THAT MAKES UP FOX NEWS.

The only reason the older righties and Christians would probably pay attention to Fox , would be to see how the right is being represented and broadcast.

That's not true. My mother always insists that my father will watch the news wearing a pair of pants.
