Well, Anne is dead, but the only millenials that will be outraged will be the informed ones (Democrats already). There just never are consequences for their words or acts.
We just fail over and over again to use their words (and results of their actions) against them.
Disgusting
His millenial children may be morons: the apple doesnât fall far from the tree. My children are hardworking and gainfully employed. Speak for your own family and friends Gasparino.
nope⌠he left for another guyâŚ
Does Gasparino know there are going to be 6 million new voters in this next election??
I donât know. This guy looks like an expert on fucking morons if I ever saw one. Probably has a lot of expertise in the area of clueless parasites as well. snarkity
GOP outreach at itâs finest.
Second thatâthe slacker stereotype et al. is not a thing I see much among actual young people, and what I do see a lot are great kids and young people doing great stuff. Times change, and the changes tend to create a different mix of strengths and weaknesses in a population group, but âkids todayâ is not high on my list of worries.
The general shoddiness of broadcast so-called journalism is an entirely different subject, and the problems there span multiple generations. But there are some great print-style political journalists and writers of all ages out there. And in broadcast, youâve got 20somethings like Chase Whiteside doing amazing stuff and showing a way forward.
Annnnd?
All together now!! What War On Women?
Another one for my (growing) file.
I call them bitter old assholes, which is synonymous with âRepublicanâ these days.
Great job of courting the under 30 vote. Talk about fucking morons
Two questions, Charlie.
Is Mitt Romney running for president this year like you and Clueless Stacy said back in February?
Did you tell those kids to get off your lawn?
Now go back to Stewed Kidneys Night at the Home.
I agree. Some of my best friends are Millenials.
FOX News and politicians donât take the long view. Thereâs a presidential election a year from now; thatâs as far as the future goes for them. They can throw this garbage out there to get the old farts upset, and by the time their positions are shown to be wrong, the debate will have changed. Hillary Clinton supported the Iraq War, and she could be the next president.
I agree this crap should be used by the left to motivate young people to vote. It seems to me the numbers are there, and itâs primarily a question of mobilization.
No! F-cking moron is the job description for Fox News Journalists; for Fox Business Journalist the counterpart is laughably unreliable tout.
Watched a short about car salesmen from 1943 where the middle-aged sales manager complains that âyoung fellas these days donât know how to work!â Those âyoung fellasâ that he complained about are now called the Greatest Generation!
Being a male yakker on Fox has to be the easiest gig on the planet.
Act outraged, punch a straw liberal, blame Obama for bad thing of the day, give a simple fantasy solution (pick one from the Fox list of approved solutions) to a complex real-world problem. Done. You donât have to have good hair, donât have to be handsome, donât have to worry about aging, donât have to wax or pluck, donât have to keep thighs clamped together to avoid upskirt fame, and you donât have to filter anything that comes out of your mouth.
So itâs a panel of whiny and cantankerous old assholes sitting around discussing why a younger generation is disengaged from them? Yeah, gee-whiz Millennials. Why wouldnât you want to aspire to us? Weâre just so pleasant to listen to!
And if weâre going to discuss generational differences, why donât we fire off a list of all of the things âBoomersâ have fucked up. We can start with Reaganomics, and maybe work on to neo-conservatism and everything in-between. Nobody has a perfect track record, and at this point in time Boomers have a hell of a lot more blood on their hands than Millennials do.
There are about 350 million people in America. Fox âNewsâ Channelâs most popular program draws ~2 million old, white and unemployed male viewers sitting around the house all day screaming at the TV.
2 million viewers out of 350 million- less than 0.5% of Americaâs population.
So who cares what Fox or their audience is babbling on about??? They are not a responsible news organization with journalists- theyâre an entertainment factory whose âhostsâ are paid to spew utter nonsense and every time we click on a story and shake our heads in dismay weâre renewing their contracts.
Why lend them any credence whatsoever, beyond their major accomplishment of providing late-night TV comedian fodderâŚtheir frothing inanity and manufactured outrage should be met with either stony silence or howls of derisive laughter.
No shock there.
As a member of the boomers (last decade) and the parent of a millennial, I have long felt that the boomers as a group are the most selfish, narcissistic and unaware generation our nation has produced. Their parents, truly the greatest generation, won the world for democracy. They built the New Deal, the Great Society, the interstate highway system, NASA, and the EPA. They also presided over the abolishment of Jim Crow, the solidification of a labor-friendly middle class, and the establishment of the greatest higher education system the world has ever seen (and the cheapest).
Since the boomers started running things, they have done nothing but whine and complain about having to pay their own way in the world their betters built. To keep their pennies in their pockets, theyâve let the highways and trains crumble, quadrupled the cost of college for their children and grand children, and tried repeatedly to tear down the parts of the New Deal and Great Society that require their contribution-with an emphasis on those parts that donât benefit THEM. Theyâve gutted the labor movement and pushed jobs to overseas sweatshops in order to drive down prices and increase stock dividends at the cost of a permanent reduction in their childrenâs standard of living. And they have proven to have an incredibly thin skin about it. Whenever they are called out for their self-serving prickishness, they begin wailing about âthe assault on white cultureâ, the âmoocher generationâ thatâs trying to take their money, and/or the need for their kids to pull themselves up like they imagine (wrongly) they had to.
As a boomer myself, I take no pleasure in having to share the stage with these jackasses, and, while I know that many of my generation do not share in the rank navel-gazing greed that predominates in this group, their numbers have never been large enough to make a difference. Indeed, the decent boomers are roundly mocked by their peers as naive, pie in the sky bleeding hearts that donât understand the âreal worldâ or the value of work and capital.
To say that none of this is lost on the millennials is a complete understatement. It has made them into a bizarre contradiction between Goldwater libertarianism and Kennedy-Roosevelt liberal activism. They see the incompetence, greed, and corruption that describes their predecessors and now have no faith in government, religion, or traditional social structure as engines for progress. They are disgusted by the lack of civic mindedness their parents and grand parents display and are taking advantage of the rise of social media to become global citizens. They reject racism and bias at a level never seen in our country. I donât know if they will make things better or worse, but they will surely take a different path.
My wish for boomers like these âreportersâ is that they get to live out their waning years in the world they stole from their children. Theyâre not quite there yet, but in a few years the last of our group will surrender to gen X and the millennials. When that finally happens, theyâre in for a surprise.
Does anyone but me find it incomprehensible that people born within a certain time frameâŚboomers ,millennials etc exhibit the exact same traits so they can easily fit into a media manufactured set of character and behavior traits. What makes them think and behave in lock step making it easy and imperative they be painted with the same broad brush?Never heard of this" journalist" until I saw this piece and it is so easy to understand why.
