[QUOTE="iluvatar5150, post: 76486209, member: 313046"] I agree that a lot of professionals could do well do figure out how to do media better. But Sanjay Gupta is on CNN and was at least recruited to be Surgeon General. How much bigger can a guy in his position get? People listen to Rogan because people are stupid and have bad taste. They want stuff that's easy and unchallenging but just sensible enough to make them feel like they're listening to both sides or getting something reasonable or whatever, but still crazy enough that it's entertaining. MoreReasonableThanTuckerCarlson is apparently all it takes for a professional talker to make a gazillion dollars these days. If people wanted truly smart, informed podcasts, there are loads of them out there, but they use big words and talk to subject matter experts who aren't glory hounds. You're basically arguing that salad should do something to be as appealing as cheeseburgers or that The Met should figure out how to be as appealing as inappropriate contenthub. Sure, Salads and The Met could probably up their game, but no amount of tweeting is going to make them more appealing than junk food and inappropriate content. But hey - while I'm obviously no fan of Rogan's, he's a huge step up from Limbaugh, so I suppose the arc of the moral universe is bending in the right direction. [/QUOTE]
