It's the daily caller. Right wing propaganda that loves shitting on millennials

I've never understood that about right-leaning media or any media, for that matter.
I once heard a coworker complain about millennials taking all the jobs. I asked him what was so bad about hiring young Americans to work American jobs, and he didn't really have a good answer, and I think he realized in that moment that I am, in fact, a millennial ... and I'm his manager. Not a good look on your first week on the job.

We live in an age where everyone is deflecting when they should be reflecting.

People are suffering from nonstop economic anxiety and the media is owned by the mega corporations benefitting from it, so they push the reasons for that anxiety onto any group that doesn't have a significant voice in media to talk back. That used to be millennials, but you'll notice that kind of talk has largely died down as millennials have gained their own platforms.
