Dat heeft Lubach ook nergens onder stoelen of banken gestoken. Hij wilde zijn team meer geld kunnen geven, en bij de NPO moesten ze bezuinigen, dus ging hij commercieel.
The big problem with that is potentially: you get one crank against one serious person, the crank can just gish-gallop and the serious person will need hours just to untangle the web of lies.
the original intent he had of letting people defend their weird positions is a good one imo.
If people were meant to defend their weird positions, that would mean that Rogan was supposed to give pushback.
That was clearly never going to happen, because he'd need to seriously investigate his guests claims beforehand.
So instead we got a podcast that's filled with obvious misinformation with hardly a critical note from Rogan. Dumbing down his audience with BS. Causing more distrust for experts, and anti-intellectualism.
Has he thanked Putin yet?
