Axios Calls Fox Viewers 'Right-Wing Grandpas'—But MSNBC Audience Is Actually Older!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/09/2024 12:13:28 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Monday's Morning Joe devoted a segment to an Axios article, 'Shards of glass: Inside media's 12 splintering realities.' The notion was that, depending on demographics, people get their information from very different media sources and are often unaware of the information that others were receiving.

One of Axios' 12 categories is "Right-wing grandpas," a reference to people who get their news largely from Fox News. What was not revealed was that the average age of Fox News viewers is 68, whereas the average age of MSNBC viewers is 71!

Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

I like Gutfeld, but only when Tyrus is on.

I don’t give a damn what they call us, but i sure as hell don’t call them journalists. They don’t know what that is. There is about an hour of news a day that should be reported. Anything more than that is an attempt at entertainment or indoctrination.

The show is rough to watch when Gutfeld is not hosting, which has been the case the past two weeks. The one show that was reasonably watchable was when Tom Shillue was a guest host.

Their guests are hit and miss, but I do like when Jamie Lissow is on. Tyrus enjoys interacting with Jamie.

He had Jordan Peterson on one night, which surprised me. I agree, Kat hosted one show, I like her, but she couldn’t carry it

68 is still pretty freaking old for the average age of viewers, so that “grandpa” moniker sounds rather accurate.

True, but if 68-year-old Fox viewers are grandpas, what are 71-year-old MSNBC viewers: their uncles? :-)

Axios is about as credible as 'intelligence thugs' saying Hunter's laptop was Russian Disinformation...

Tyrus and Kat have a pretty good rapport, I enjoy watching their verbal jousting

Axios is about the last place I'd look for accurate reporting.

Don’t care what Morning Uncle Joe Stalin has to say. I don’t watch him or listen to him and the blond broad that just sits there and stares at the camera all day. The more they hate me, the better. Cause the feeling is mutual!! Hang tough Patriots. Our day gets closer every hour and minute to the second coming of Donald J. Trump to lead this failing nation out of the gutter!!
