Baby Boomers practically invented the participation trophy. It's why millennials got so many. And I've literally never heard a Baby Boomer complain about them. I've only ever heard about Gen X folks and below complain about them.
I guess Fox News is made up of and watched by gen x then?
My dad and his friends are Gen X and all about the Fox kool-aid, so yeah kinda
I was born near the end of Gen X and it's stark how different I am from folks just a few years older than me - my aunt is early Gen X and she's a piece of shit. I identify more with Millennials so I just go with Xennial or Inbetweener.
I've heard young Xers and old millennials called the Oregon Trail generation. Named that because we were the first ones to have computers growing up. We grew up as the tech matured and got to watch it become easier and more useful.
Fox News has a predominantly older audience, with nearly half of its users being 50 or older. Americans ages 65 and older account for around four-in-ten of those who say their main source of political news is Fox News.
Baby Boomers: Baby boomers were born between 1946 and 1964. They're currently between 59-77 years old
Two points: 1) The mechanism by which individuals consume media shifts across generations. Baby Boomers watch more Fox News and MSNBC than any younger age cohort because they're still very much invested in consuming news media via television. That said, 2) According to viewership statistics Fox News and MSNBC have the same viewership percentages for Gen X - around 25%. Which is the second highest viewership percentage after Baby Boomers, who also consume liberal news media in extremely high percentages.
