Disappointing ad hominem, expected a better analysis about viewpoints instead of the people he invites. Joe Rogan is unique not because of his guests but what he talks about with his guests, these topics are not covered by the mainstream.
If the institutional gate keepers want to declare a new main stream than also embrace people with a more nuanced point of view instead of this fully scripted narrative they publish 24/7.
When was the last positive article published by the NYTimes about Russia, the Republican party or even number 45?
I wish the main stream isn't as compromised as it is. Until then I have to listen to Joe Rogan & the portal to tap into nuanced thoughtful content.
- StriverGuy 6y agoConsidering Joe has millions of listeners I would say he is mainstream, but then again I am probably talking to a wall by making this comment.
- lowdose 6y agoI think that is more a quantification of the unmet need mainstream media creates by not discussing topics like DMT and the simulation hypothesis. The long form of content enables conversations even about the most fringe topics. The Overton window doesn't magically shifts when millions of people are serviced by a 3th party outside the Overton window.
- mellosouls 6y agoExactly, the mainstream has always been there; but the "mainstream" media has long been talking down to it rather than with it, and this void in respect of the common man and woman is something that centrist people like Rogan fill by just being open to a variety of opinion and ideas, and refusing to demonise people because they don't sign up to ivory tower prescriptions and proscriptions.
