While I'm not in that category just yet (cranky, but not quite that old), there is something to be said for the wisdom of people who have been around for a while.

These people are not relying on Jon Stewart, a damned fool, for their new. Maybe too many become indoctrinated, but overall, they at least know who the candidates are and what the issues are. They do not understand the fiscal situation the country is in much more than young people, but they do understand why debt is a bad thing and lots of debt is a terrible thing.

Young people are mostly idiots. And some older people -- particularly those who have unions in their history.

A key data point from Frank Rich's profile of Fox News:

Fox News is losing younger viewers at an even faster rate than its competitors. With a median viewer age now at 68 according to Nielsen data through mid-January (compared with 60 for MSNBC and CNN, and 62 to 64 for the broadcast networks), Fox is in essence a retirement community ... If it is actuarially possible, its median viewer age will keep creeping upward. (It rose by two years over the course of 2013.)


And there is no doubt that they are cranky!!!
