Why? Why do I suddenly need to know everyone's take about everything? Why is it important that we know what our favourite actor thinks about Trump?

Everything is publicity. It's not achieving some important social need, its driving people towards new products. Interviewing Alex Jones isn't doing anything except making more people know what an Alex Jones is.

So they have a chance to explain their actions to see what influenced them and if they are justified.

Seemingly chance after chance after chance.

Is that why the kardashians are so famous, because their continued media presence is our opportunity to see if they make sense? No, they are just crap and giving them more sunlight just gives them more undue fame, money, and power.

Do you think the kind of interview Rogan does is similar to the typical interview the Kardashians appear in?
