> 90% of the media
media being MSM like NBC, NY Times, CNN, etc. Podcasts and even the popular ones are longtail so they will have divergent messages than the MSM players. But Joe Rogan has more viewers than some of the smaller networks top shows and that puts him squarely in the field of MSM, and those players mentioned before are all seeing ever shrinking audiences and JR is seeing his audience expand and he has 100x less of the support and administrative staff than those networks do, it must infuriate them to no degree and I can see why they would want him shut down.
- PuppyTailWags 4y agoI'm confused about your claim that 90% of MSM is the same if I'm pointing out that just briefly going to top podcasts points out two radically differing MSM taking the top 2. That doesn't sound like 90% saying the same stuff to me. Especially if you consider Joe Rogan himself to also be MSM. I don't even know the definition of MSM then or how you can say 90% of them are anything.
- panzagl 4y agoOP is saying top podcasts are not MSM. But to address the point I think you're making, just because two shows have different viewpoints doesn't mean they're not the same- 'Fox and Friends' and 'The View' might have opposing ideologies, but they're the same show.
- unethical_ban 4y agoYou're shoehorning "MSM" to mean "non-podcast media I don't like". It's completely dumbfounding to compare staff sizes of a podcast to worldwide journalism institutions. It borders on bad faith. "They" want them shut down? Who is they?
