Joe Rogan and Mike Rowe Deliver Body Blow to MSM Over Being Replaced by X
Mainstream media is not dealing well with the rise of independent media and the loss of control they have over X since Elon Musk took over.
We reported earlier on Catherine Herridge dropping the receipts on why X was rising and reaching more people than the regular network media. She noted the far greater reach that you could have for stories on X with all manner of audiences.

Podcaster Joe Rogan also went to town during an interview with Mike Rowe. He spoke about the giant resistance (from the media) to the idea that X was now the "news source of the world."
Warning for graphic language:
He chastised the media types who were losing "authority," yelling, "No, you're not!" at X being the news.
"You guys f**ked us too many times," he scolded.
And we don't believe you anymore! And so, the only way to find out what's real and what's not real is someone posts it online and then everyone looks at it. And then you get the Community Note. And that's way better than The NY Times telling me that the Fruit Loops in Canada are exactly the same as the Fruit Loops in America, except for a bunch of sh** that's banned, and that's the point...Meanwhile they're factchecking RFK Jr, so now I don't trust you any more either.
"You can't gloss over the Community Notes," Rowe said in agreement.
Rowe explained how the media had "abdicated on skepticism" and "become something else."
So, you can't really blame people for considering what we used to dismiss as conspiracy theories when those theories start to be borne out, and when there's such a level of eroded trust in once-credible institutions.
Rogan explained that this was about them wanting to hold onto being the "experts," and people questioning or spouting "conspiracy theories" were challenging that. "But then when they're wrong, there's no repercussion," he said they never want to admit they are wrong. They don't want to admit they were wrong about masking, wrong about social distancing when it came to COVID.
"Where's the humility?" Rowe asked. And that's the problem.
There is none. We'll never see an apology for all the lies, like the Russia collusion lie--all the harm that did, how that divided the country, and how much that cost us.
Because all they seem to be about is wanting to hold onto control and attacking anyone who might question that, from Rogan to Elon Musk to President-elect Donald Trump. But because of X and independent media, that's a door opened they cannot close and they will continue to implode.
