Podcasters are just dudes with opinions. “Journalists” were like doctors before they destroyed themselves during covid. They were presumptively trustworthy to a large swath of the population.

If Rogan starts pushing CIA talking points, he’ll seem like a dude with retarded opinions quick.

Think they’d probably launch some fake podcasters (think Candlebox after Nirvana and Pearl Jam became big) who will push extra radical ideas and call out Rogan for being a CIA op, while being CIA ops themselves. Actually more like Whitney Webb, just sow doubt as to whether you can get behind or trust anyone.

Maybe they’re already doing that.
