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.
