The \\u201cJoe Rogan\\u201d experience is off the cuff, unedited, and very often entirely off the rails. Alex Patterson of Media Matters says the podcast is \\u201ca bastion of toxic masculinity\\u2026 that leads listeners further down rightwing rabbit holes,\\u201d and notes that Rogan\\u2019s \\u201cdedicated listeners are mostly young men\\u2026 listening to all three hours and taking in completely unfounded conspiracy theories without any of the fact-checking that would come for a more traditional journalistic enterprise.\\u201d Plus, Samuel Woolley, the author of The Reality Game: How the Next Wave of Technology Will Break the Truth and the director of the Propaganda Lab at the University of Austin\\u2019s Center for Media Engagement, explains why \\u201cthe right is a lot better than the left at leveraging the internet and leveraging both organic engagement and inorganic engagement to megaphone out their content,\\u201d including by using networked propaganda, where \\u201cwhat begins on social media as a quote unquote organic phenomenon, which is oftentimes not organic, then ends up on cable news, then back on social media and so on and so forth until it\'s really unclear where it came from.\\u201d
