Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.
Our Rules:
-
Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
-
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
-
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
-
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
-
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.
Sister Communities:

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.
