Millenials...

According to this article, those Americans between 21 and 29 are - brimming with adultlike respect for American institutions, family values and work ethics, despite a few quirks.

Among the findings: 94 percent said they respect monogamy and parenthood, while 84 percent revere marriage. Eighty-eight percent respect the U.S. Constitution, 84 percent respect the military and more than three-fourths believed in the proverbial "American dream." Fewer than one in four, however, said they have any admiration for Hollywood.

"We were completely surprised. There has been a faulty portrayal of millennials by the media — television, films, news, blogs, everything. These people are not the self-entitled, coddled slackers they're made out to be. Misnomers and myths about them are all over the place," said Ann Mack, who directed the survey and is the official "director of trend-spotting" at the agency.

"Their opinions of monogamy and marriage are products of the era they grew up in, a reaction against a reality-TV world or their unstable childhoods. They are more traditional in their views because they want something better for their own families," Ms. Mack said.

Well this certainly must be galling to Hollywood and the mainstream media!

Good.

The news media love to print bad news, and this is bad news to them. After all the years of indoctrination in feminist, free-love, anti-American philosophy, to have the result be this kind of rebellion against the ideology shoved down the students' throats has to gall the leftists. It's a beautiful thing.
