During a recent segment on Fox News, the network called on Generation X (those born between 1965 and 1980) to "lead the charge to save America from the social media mob" and put an end to cancel culture.

People could practically hear the Gen Xers laughing through Twitter.
The Gen X discourse on here is so lame. We do not want to be talked about. I hate myself for even writing this tweet. Please leave us alone.— Miriam Elder (@Miriam Elder)1615853513.0

Members of Gen X certainly didn't seem eager to take Fox up on their offer.

It seems Generation X (age 41-56) is a bit too young to be watching Fox News.

Fox News is going to have to find a new ally to try and "save America."
