Mainstream Media’s Biggest Enemies
In today’s media landscape, there are a few bad boys who stand out from the rest. Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, Stephen Crowder, Russell Brand, and Gavin McInnes are all individuals with large followings who are often critical of mainstream media outlets. If there were a Mount Rushmore of far-right and alt-right podcasters and prominent conspiracy theorists, these guys would be it.
While some people see them as conspiracy theorists or anarchists, others view them as truth-tellers who are shining a light on corruption within the mainstream media. So, who is right? Are these guys degenerates who are just in it for the money, or are they mainstream media’s biggest enemies?
