Kapala Harris appeared on” The Howard Stern Show” and” Saturday Night Live” to close out the 2024 presidential campaign. This, of course, were the top two acts in the PR Handbook…

…if the year was 1997.
Appear,” Saturday Night Live” is a pretty show. Every now and then, it still has its events. But on regular, SNL has approximately 4.5 million people.
How many people have watched Joe Rogan’s meeting with Donald Trump on YouTube?
We’re up to 50 million.
And that’s just one system, by the way! Thousands more people have watched it on Spotify, watched X videos, and shared their favorite events on social media.
2024 was the year solution advertising devoured yesteryear’s advertising relics.
This, of course, is profoundly disturbing to progressives, since they’re accustomed to having Pop Culture’s ears. That’s the method it’s supposed to be: Politically, they were simpatico, historically, they were friends, socially, they were lovers. They had a liberal romantic partner!
And then, suddenly, they’re on the outside looking in, searching desperately for a progressive version of Joe Rogan to visit their unique.
People who claim Harris may include done Joe Rogan are debunking the place are. That would n’t have helped her.
Democrats must create their personal Joe Rogan. Someone who is capable of conversing with the persons he speaks to, rather than being a person who wants to kiss entrepreneurs like Elon Musk.

Journalist Taylor Lorenz, formerly of the Washington Post ( and probably most well-known to conservatives for the doxxing and outing of” Libs of TikTok” creator Chaya Raichik ), released an article today:” Why Democrats wo n’t build their own Joe Rogan”.

It’s an interesting slab, I encourage you to read it. But you can possibly imagine where she’s going with her analysis. She worries about Rogan’s length, reach and influence:
The departed has failed to imitate anything like the right, despite spending years cultivating a symbiotic relationship with other media. There are no liberal content creators with Rogan’s social impact and online following, and a swift look at the reach of traditional vs. liberal creators online can be seen from a swift look at the podcast charts or rising channels on YouTube.
Without a network of important content creators who promote and translate their messages, the Democratic Party is quickly losing ground among younger, largely male audiences who have grown passionate supporters of those who promote a distinctively conservative worldview.
She assumes a great rightwing crime:
The traditional media scenery in the United States is extremely well-funded, fastidiously constructed, and extremely coordinated. Rich donors, political action committees, and businesses with a vested interest in preserving or expanding liberal policies make strategic investments in aspiring content creators and up-and-coming media outlets.
This creates a well oiled network for traditional influencers: fresh TikTokers, YouTubers, livestreamers, or podcasters are discovered, developed, and pushed to larger platforms, often with the financial backing of conservative billionaires or organizations on the appropriate who have long recognized the content publisher business a significant means of shaping public opinion and policy.

 , She says it’s cruel:
Communist authors even lack the funds to invest in production team or marketing for their independent internet businesses because they are not well funded. While billionaire-backed right wing influencers who cosplay as independent media can hire large staffs and run national ad campaigns thanks to their robust funding, progressive influencers are forced to rely on organic growth on platforms like YouTube, Twitch, and TikTok. Meanwhile, these platforms ‘ distribution algorithms have been shown to reward conservative outrage and extremism.  ,
There is simply no way for progressive content creators to compete. They eventually burn out and leave, which further limits the ability of the left to create a powerful leftist influencer ecosystem that could even begin to rival conservative influencers ‘ reach and power [. ]
She complains about the current product:
The podcast Pod Save America is probably the closest thing to a “progressive Joe Rogan” in the majority of liberal media. However, the podcast hosts of that program clearly support the Democratic Party establishment. They do n’t address the disenchanted masses who are fed up with the entire system or the young people who are dissatisfied with it.
So on and so forth.
Well, I have excellent news for Taylor Lorenz:  , I’ve discovered the liberal Joe Rogan! Seriously! Let me tell you a lot about him:
First of all, he spent a lot of time in Los Angeles. He had experience working in Hollywood, appeared in numerous TV shows, and was always friendly with his fellow actors. So, you know he’s super-comfortable collaborating with liberal people. Many of his closest friends are in the LGBTQ+ community.

His political views are mostly center-left: He supports gay marriage, drug legalization, improved healthcare, and healthy living. He’s pro-choice and supports criminal justice reform — he’s one of us! For a little while, he was even backing Bernie Sanders for president!
And if that was n’t enough, he’s a successful comedian with a really big following. In fact, he already has a podcast! Maybe you’ve heard of it:
It’s called” The Joe Rogan Experience”.
Now might be a good time for liberals to take a long look in the mirror following Donald Trump’s defeat on Tuesday. They would still have  , a Joe Rogan if they had n’t been intolerant jackasses who chased him away.
