You inherently infantilize the public when you assume they agree with, or are indoctrinated by, media they consume. Adults are capable of disagreeing with long form content they consume.

What is more damaging are the sound bytes and headlines that get amplified on short form social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit, which offer conclusions and misinformation and not conversations.

Joe Rogan is a bit of an idiot, but his audience mostly knows that. They listen to him because there are nuggets of truth in his podcast that most MSM won't report.
