cynical conservative bread and circuses propaganda

It's not "conservatives," it's mainstream media in general. Mainstream media lives and dies by viewership/readership, and the thing that sells clicks/views the most is drama. Age related drama is timeless and relatively easy pickings, because it doesn't really matter what you say about a given generation, a number of people will identify with it, a number will disagree, and everyone seems to have an opinion.

It's incredibly stupid and a big reason why I generally avoid mainstream media, except for coverage of important regional, national, and international news.
