Why does the media portray as Ron Paul supporters as mostly college kids, when that is not the case at all?

Why does the media act like Ron Pauls supporters are limited to a certain age group when that is certainly not the case? It amazes me how the media tries to sway peoples opinions by dishing out false information so they push a candidate that they are in favor of. Truth is that the college kids are the ones that get all the publicity when they go out into the public and the events preaching his name, but there are tons of Ron Paul supporters everywhere young and old. Ill give you example, my dads friend is 80 years old and loves Ron Pauls ideas and think he is the smartest man for the job. My grandmother is 73 and she thinks he is the greatest and is mad at news outlets like FOX news for not representing a true conservative like Fox would normally do. When I read a Ron Paul book at the library or at borders I have people in there mid 40's coming up to me and asking me what book I am reading and how great Ron Paul is and how he can put this country in a new direction. I had one guy who was about 45 listen to what I was saying to the person saying next to me and he says "Ron Paul, he's the man! He's the only man with enough balls to go after the federal reserve". So why does the media portray this falsehood? Is it because he scares them because he stands for real change and real conservatism, or is it because they are happy the way things are and don't want someone riding in and actually changing things?
