- shadus, on 10/12/2007, -21/+136Good... that means on average, most of his viewers will be dead inside 4 years and we can move on and quit having stories about him on the front page :P
- Nydas, on 10/12/2007, -11/+92Playing the "girl" card will not save you from being dugg down. As much as diggers want to impress you by digging you up, there hatred for O'Reilly is greater then there sex drive. And thats saying something.
- kevin_qnn, on 10/12/2007, -5/+58stewart's is 35 according to this http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.pl?ACCT=109&STORY=/www/story/09-30-2004/0002262661&EDATE=
- primehifi, on 10/12/2007, -9/+51I bet they all smoke pot too........
for their glaucoma of course. - chocobomog, on 10/12/2007, -2/+44FTA
"MSNBC’s research claims that the median age for Mr. O’Reilly’s audience is 71, while Mr. Olbermann’s is 59. (Fox and CNN both report that the only figures they get for median age of shows with older audiences is “65 plus,” and that Mr. O’Reilly’s audience falls into that category.)"
Looks like all three stations have an high median. This isn't just O'Reilly. I wonder what Jon Stewart's median is? - freff, on 10/12/2007, -13/+52Hot, intelligent, and O'Reilly are three concepts that I'm having trouble putting together for some reason.
Wait a minute! You're not that production assistand that he sexually harassed, are you?!? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+33hmm and which age group votes the most... thats why I keep saying shut the ***** up about what you don't like in gov. and do something about it. not like most of you are going to do that. you are just going to self righteously bitch about how wrong the war is etc etc etc even though you didn't vote in 2000 or 2004. so unless you voted STFU. Seriously I don't know how many anti war people that I've met that don't vote. Every old person in the country is going to vote and force their skewed and out dated perspectives on you. I voted last year. I'll vote in 2008. How about you?
also
@rockforever
really if you are so passionate about it then why aren't you getting your peers out to vote? is it because deep down you don't give a *****? because the old people do and that why they vote - Nydas, on 10/12/2007, -7/+34Now watch what happens when i switch a few words around:
"ANYTHING coming from O'Reilly and Fox about anything should be considered highly suspect, if not total fabrication of facts." - reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -6/+31Considering that O'Reilly's audience is so old, isn't there a higher chance too that they are bigots in general? Older people tend to be more racist, homophobic, etc.
- RoflcopterFUEL, on 10/12/2007, -10/+30They're just too damn tired to use the remote, that is, if they haven't lost it somewhere.
- gameface247, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24most likely the average IQ, as well
- shadus, on 10/12/2007, -9/+28Saying you enjoy O'Reilly in the same sentence claiming intelligence just announces your general stupidity. That's like saying you're intelligent in the same sentence you say you enjoy Jerry Springer. Mutual exclusion... oxymoron. Anyone who watches these drivel filled shows (and I'm not excluding the drivel from the KO side of the extremist spectrum either) and claims intelligence needs to reevaluate their lives, morals, and sanity.
They're extremist nut bags catering to the stupid masses who want people to think for them. - killinger777, on 10/12/2007, -13/+32Olbermann's average viewer age is actually more surprising.
"Just shows how out of touch with America his viewers actually are."
How does being old make you out of touch with America? - Dumbledorito, on 10/12/2007, -8/+26ANYTHING coming from O'Reilly about MSNBC and The New York Times should be considered highly suspect, if not total fabrication of facts.
There. Fixed it for you. - seaqueue, on 10/12/2007, -8/+25WTF. Who dugg down the first comment? Average DOES NOT equal median!!!!! Go back to school people!
- satanatnmtedu, on 10/12/2007, -2/+19Read the ***** article. It says MEDIAN age. So, half the viewers are above 65 (maybe 71), and half are below 65. So, to say it is ***** research is stupid. You can be 24 (along with all your friends), and the research can still be correct because you are part of the half.
I hate that he puts up straw men to debunk. I hate that he claims to be fair and balanced, but he only attacks the left. Bill O'Reilly is a piece of *****. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17um your avatar... how?
- etnu, on 10/12/2007, -7/+22Being old does not make you more aware of anything. People born within the last 40 years are more educated, more technologically competent, and more accepting of different cultures (and more knowledgeable of different cultures in the first place). This isn't because of any magic beans or anything like that, it's simply because every generation builds upon the previous. If "older generations" were better decision makers than younger, we'd still be living in grass hovels.
That isn't to say that you shouldn't have respect for the elderly, of course, but every time I hear the claim that older people are "wiser", I want to cry. Lest we forget that people who are in their 70s today were the ones who were in their 30s & 40s during the 1960s, when we still had to deal with segregation, sexism, and rampant xenophobia in general. Even today, we still see that levels of racism and sexism are much higher amongst the 40+ crowd than younger generations. Why on earth would anyone trust people who still use the word "*****" to be making unbiased policy decisions?
Most people, young or old, are stupid. There's no two ways about this, we all know it. About 1 in 10 people (if you're lucky) actually makes a real difference in anything in life, the rest just ride coattails and happen to exist. I know that my generation is full of idiots -- but I also know that these idiots happen to be a generation that grew up with technology that our parents and grandparents mostly don't even use, let alone understand. This is a generation that has grown up in a society where nothing is manufactured domestically, where it's nearly impossible to make a decent living without a college education, where communication is instant, where news is free, and, perhaps most importantly, where the mistakes of previous generations have had to be dealt with.
People who are 70 today aren't going to have to live with bad decisions made about the middle east, social security, the internet, pollution, or abortion. They aren't going to have to deal with the ramifications of outsourcing and illegal immigration. The pending budget crisis is meaningless to a person who's got less than 20 years left to live. You think the AARP is taking a logical and unbiased stance with it's support of expanded social security and medicare plans? They know that their constituents don't care about the current and future work force. Sure, individuals care about their children and grand children, but as a whole, they're in it for themselves. - Hoovooloo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Yeah, what's with these young whippersnappers? Back in my day they'd be branded and put in internment camps. Oh well, O'Reilly should be on soon, then well hear some good patriotic commentary!
/sarcasm - Jarvlove, on 10/12/2007, -34/+47Median =/= average. That would be mean.
- kavaliro, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15It's unfortunate that we have to turn to the Comedy Channel for honest political reporting. Yet there it is. That's what happens when only two or three people control the entire news network for the whole country. Well, at least there's the internet.
- freff, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Hell, at the rate Bush seems to want to go, we might all be dead in 20 years.
Well, I guess he'd just call it being called home, but you catch my drift. - jm074, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15"ANYTHING coming from MSNBC and The New York Times about O'Reilly should be considered highly suspect, if not total fabrication of facts."
Grandpa, is that you? - Brainwave, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15Everyone over 65 years old watching The O'Reilly Factor are Senile and think their watching Matlock.
- rationalist, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11The median is skewed by Cthulu.
- Heembo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Unless you send us a link to your naked pictures, no digg for you!
- brenonymous, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11Yes. All his fans will be dead in 20 years.
- cousinzoidfarb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I know someone who writes software for NASA missions and tapes Jerry Springer on a daily basis and watches it with his wife. I wouldn't hesitate to call him intelligent.
I think people throw around words attributing intelligence, or the lack of it, incorrectly or at least too often. Everyone's somehow smart, gifted, intelligent, or a genius for one reason or another. They're also an idiot, a moron, stupid, or dumb if they ever do anything that isn't liked. - FzArEkTaH, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11You really know TONS of people around your age that watch him? I don't think I could name 5 people off the top of my head that watch him of any age. What's to hate? He's a ***** moron - need I say more?
- Dracos, on 10/12/2007, -3/+9Colbert said he was trying to reach a younger audience than O'Reilly. Therefore, I offer this new slogan/segment name for Stephen to use on the Report:
"The No Spinster Zone!"
The segment could be street interviews of people who don't qualify for AARP, or something. - satanatnmtedu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7Fox is not the only news network listed on the American forces Network schedule.
http://myafn.dodmedia.osd.mil/tv/schedule/index.asp - earthtoandy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6well one emotion anyway, fear.
- aahpandasrun, on 10/12/2007, -16/+22O'Reilly is a bumbling fool
- shadus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7The thing I "hate" is that he labels anything that disagrees with his point of view "*****"... just like the other extremist nut bags.
KO and OR are no different, they're just preachers selling their snake-oil to the masses who want to be told what to do and think without ever having to think for themselves.
No thanks. I'll happily be the black sheep and do my own thinking.
If you're serious and aren't pulling things out of your ass, then I'm sorry for your generation. My generation for the most part managed to think for themselves, even if I don't agree with what they thought about and decided, they at least had the spine to do their own thinking... - Dumbledorito, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9And 53% of those viewers are out on their porches with broken bottles in their hands screaming at those damn kids to get off their lawns.
- omaryak, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Colbert was right! I thought he was exaggerating when he said he was trying to reach "younger viewers...in their 50s, 60s."
- foolfromhell, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10"Hot, intelligent, and O'Reilly are three concepts that I'm having trouble putting together for some reason."
Girl and Digg are two concepts that I'm having trouble putting together for some reason - clay900, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I miss Olbermann on SportsCenter
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5hah colbert wasn't joking then, he knew something.
he said 'my fans are in their 50s and 60s, younger than yours' last week when he had him hosted. - bromanct, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9O'Reilly is a scam that older people buy into. He plays to their emotions with complete disregard to the truth.
- wendelgee2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7You might think it's "fun"...but to the rest of us who see his ideologies running our country, it's terrifying.
Here's but one scary-ass example why he's not funny, but dead serious:
Bill O’Reilly encouraged terrorists to target San Francisco because he was upset that the city voted to ban military recruiters from high-school and college campuses. O’Reilly said “if Al Qaeda comes in here and blows you up, we’re not going to do anything about it. We’re going to say, look, every other place in America is off limits to you, except San Francisco.” - icontrolthesun, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"Well, at least there's the internet."
enjoy it while it lasts. - rhawk301, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The very young do not always do as they are told. Sometimes I wonder if the ultra-elite just think of us all as children. They know better, and must tell us what to do. I feel there is some big secret they know and we just have to sit back and listen, or else something bad will happen.
So lets throw all the years of the USA out the window, and let the most wicked of men do the most wickedest of deeds for the betterment of society. - buggles, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5or.... the average age of the people that bother taking MSNBC polls is 71.
- kingfrank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Olbermann, Dan Patrick and "Welcome to the Big Show." Ah, whatever happened to SportCenter? Before every highlight had to be brought to you by some aftershave lotion or some watered-down beer ...
- rstevens, on 10/12/2007, -3/+7Mr. Bill O'Reilly is truly a great citizen--that is if you are a citizen of Hell.
As Mr. Bush enacts legislation to arrest true patriots who distinguish truth versus corruption, Mr. Olbermann is the voice of the American people. I believe the founding fathers, while watching the attempted destruction of the liberties they so bravely instituted, are beating their fists with support every time Olbermann speaks.
God bless Olbermann. Share his talks with all your friends. - clay900, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5that would only be true if 71 was the median age.
- dggeek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4"that means on average, most of his viewers will be dead inside 4 years"
Well, a median of 71 means that there are an equal number of people older than 71 as younger than 71. Technically that means half his viewers will be dead in 4 years (if you use the anti-logic that everyone over the age of 71 will be dead in 4 years). - himpster, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Had originally Dugg, then buried...
I love Countdown as much as the next guy, but the article is nearly 6 months old. I'm sure Billo's audience hasn't got any younger, but it *is* an old story. - pauleric, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Wow, one who doesn't know the meaning of average vs. mean, a second one who didn't read the article, a third who can't spell, and now a fourth one who's a grammar Nazi. That last one would be me.
edit...ahhh killinger got in before me, oh well -
