Umm… So assuming their youngest viewer is 0, who the fuck is the 140 year old still watching the news? I’m going to go out on a limb and reread that in my head as the “mean” age (average) instead of “median” (being the mid-point in a range).
I hate to be that guy, but words used to have meanings.
My sincerest apologies friend, I have a few less years of formal education than most of the people on here. I believe my confusion was due to my utter lack of understanding, I was equating median with the physical barrier placed in between sides of a divided highway.
Once again though, my apologies and thank you for providing me with a bit of knowledge! Always happy to be part of the 10k.

That’ s not how medians work, unless there’s the same number of people of every single age watching.
If the population watching is:
10,000 10 year olds
10,000 20 year olds
10,000 30 year olds
10,000 40 year olds
10,000 50 year olds
10,000 60 year olds
300,000 70 year olds
10,000 80 year olds
10,000 90 year olds
Then the middle point of that range, when you list them from youngest to oldest, would be 70 years old.

No need to apologize, it’s something easy to confuse, I learned it from someone correcting me once. Cheers!
