Cable TV and AM talk radio are dying institutions. Joe Rogan’s podcast has an audience of 11 million, vs. about three million each for Carlson and Hannity. Alex Jones had 16.5 million unique visitors in March 2023. His Infowars program is more popular among Millennials and Gen X than with Baby Boomers, who still favor talk radio and cable. Beyond the giants of Rogan and Jones, there are hundreds of independent bloggers with various conservative, libertarian, and conspiracist ideologies that can be found on sources like Rumble and BitChute. Since Big Tech started to shut down non-mainstream viewpoints for such excuses as hate speech, etc., an alternate network of smaller tech sites and financing sources has developed over the last six years. Their reach has become greater, because the mainstream media and other once-trusted sources have evaporated confidence due to their constant lying.

Bears repeating.
