The last ten years have certainly seen a rise in tribe mentality amongst news consumers. But I would make the case for the likes of Joe Rogan as he identifies with one camp but is unwilling to ignore the facts in a story to fit a narrative. I think it is one of the reasons he has done so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He questions them but it’s not gotcha combative journalism like don lemon or how piers Morgan can be, misconstruing the others points just to “win” like for example he had Richard Wolfe on to express his opinions and he’s an absolute lunatic communist. Then he had Michael malice on to talk about anarchy. Then Michael malice again to debate anarchy vs modern capitalism.

Carlos Danger Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 The Tucker Carlson vs Rachel Maddow is a good comparison. Both are firmly in one camp and certainly pick their stories to fit an agenda. Maddow basically ran Trump, Trump, Trump and Russia, Russia, Russia stories every night for a few years to spoon feed a false narrative. Her worst Offense for me was her out right lie about the vaccine stopping the spread of Covid. She had no facts to back that up and her viewers were unlikely to fact check her which put people in harms way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that don't take their vaccine. But it's still their choice, and if you take the vaccine, you are protected," he said. "I came up with a vaccine, with three vaccines. All are very, very good. Came up with three of them in less than nine months," he said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again what source did Maddow use to say that the vaccines stopped transmission? certainly not the CDC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
