It's almost like baseball, it becomes habit viewing/listening

Name any left wing show that talks to anyone for an hour, let alone 3.
And this habit of turning politics into team sports, absorbing it for eight hours a day through various podcasts and 24/7 new channels is a huge problem that needs to be corrected.. not something the left should start adopting.

I enjoy Sam Sedar, Kara Swisher, David Pakman etc but my lord I don't want to listen to any of them and get sucked into a politcal brain drain for three hours a week, much less a day. Scott Galloway is interesting on Pivot with Kara Swisher but lord almighty he gets annoying quick, even when I agree with him.

"If" Joe Rogan is right wing isn't a question anymore. The guy was a full on puppet for the Donald Trump campaign in the final months.



This is from the Rogan subreddit.

Wait ? People want 3 hour snooze fest like baseball with their podcast so they can be put to sleep?

How American.

3 hours is definitely too much. 90 minutes is probably ideal because it provides enough time to dive it whatever subject matter but also allows for some bull####ting and tangents.

A newish podcast that is really easy and enjoyable to listen to is Mike Rowe even though he is right wing.

Mike Rowe is pure trash. Is known for his shown Dirty Jobs and romancing the job they do but is outspoken anti union and has never advocated for better pay for any of those jobs. He's made a career out of the unsung jobs that people who while stabbing them in the back at every opportunity

Rogan, if you consider him right wing, does 3 hours per day interviewing different guests. Others over an hour everyday. Since news is current, they are on top of everything.
This is known as "flooding the zone with sh**"

He's a uniquely talented and entertaining guy. Tells great stories and is able to generate enthralling conversation.

Is that his job? He's not a politician blocking laws.

He's not that unique? He's a very good television host. Your reply doesn't go against anything I said.

The dumb are winning. There is no other explanation needed. In no sane universe do any of these right wing pundits or talking points need to be discussed. Left wing dummies tend to stay silent. Right wing dummies get louder. Political threads are filled with them.

They have masterfully laid the groundwork for one of the world’s best propaganda efforts ever. They cast doubt on the mainstream media, repeatedly and with coordinated effort, and then became the only voice people will listen to. At that point they get to say whatever they want and there’s no repercussions for the lies being told, because any fact checking is done by the media that’s been discredited.

If it wasn’t so damned dangerous to the future of the earth it’d be fascinating to watch.

When you’re speaking to the type of person who can’t wrap their head around around a plan explained in more than three words you should assume that even if they read your post the chances of them being able to understand it and then go the extra step of responding to the thing they read is about as near zero as it gets.

Has the "death to America" chant become widely acceptable and encouraged yet?
