I am specifically speaking about liberal podcasters. They are doing good work to help our cause.
It may not be your cup of tea. That is OK. Everything is not for everyone. The information economy is a lot different than it was 10 years ago and its not going back.
There is a post today that Candace Owens beat Joe Rogan this week.
We can't let their voices be the loudest voices. I hear you, but its just a different animal and we have to play the game to win. As long as they are not telling outright lies, I commend what they are doing. They are trying to compete in the attention economy. Trust me, there are people that gravitate that way and the ones that are not so far gone, we need them to come our way. Case in point, the secretary of state of Kentucky had to put out a statement earlier this week that people in Kentucky cannot vote for Mayor of NY. I kid you not. Somehow they were convinced they could vote against Mamdani even though they were in Kentucky.
People believe all kinds of nonsense online. I am not for playing respectability politics when there are others on the other side winning with disinformation.
There was a discussion earlier this week elsewhere how much of an impact independent journalism had on this week's election. Cable news viewership is declining, broadcast news does not show in detail the depravity of what is actually happening on the streets. These podcasters do.
