Rabbit hole

Both Joe Rogan and Russell Brand have sizeable audiences and yet they are doing them a disservice. Rogan, the everyman dolt just asking questions contrasts against the frantic histrionics of the conspiracy-seeking Brand but both feed equally into the misinformation mediasphere.

Rogan posseses very little discernment and appears to just parrot the talking points of his often right leaning guests. Brand for his part pretends that he is constantly discovering some plot as he feeds an audience hungry to find that they have been duped by those who hold the levers of power.
