It says absolutely nothing about the "legacy news media". It just means that many people are incredibly gullible.
Joe Rogan does not have more credibility, but some people THINK he does, and that's the problem.
- overgard 4y agoI think that's frankly a condescending world view. Who made you the arbiter of what's true and what's not? Listening to Joe Rogan doesn't mean you agree, it just means he brings on interesting guests and trusts his viewers to make up their own mind. Who do you think people are more inclined to listen to, someone that treats their audience with respect, or someone that calls a broad swath of the population idiots?

But I'm going to trust the opinions of people who are experts in their field much more than some comedian. > or someone that calls a broad swath of the population idiots? If you trust Joe more than the experts, then well, if the shoe fits...
