>which bits of the madness turn out accurate.

But none of the bits in your example turned out to be accurate? Afghanistan was a disaster for a long time, and child sex traffiking rings involving the powerful have been around for a long time (Dutroux). He just adds conspiracy nonsense to these old stories?

If child sex trafficing rings are so common among the powerful then that then that should indeed be a top topic of conversation. If there was a more reasoned voice than Jones who wants to talk about that continuously then they should be getting a lot more press.

The worst impact Rogan has is the normalization of paranoid-conspiratorial logic under the guise of critical thinking. I mean, he's basically primed millions of people to be ready to eagerly accept bullshit.

It appeals to a certain demographic that television doesn't. Whataboutism at its worst.
