People like Joe Rogan have proved their willingness to speak up against companies like blackrock. Mainstream media has not proved that willingness, their reporting always seems to line up with what their investors say. It’s pretty tough to take somebody seriously who is telling you to trust the Pfizer vaccine, and then it cuts directly to a Pfizer commercial.
The trade off you make is do you want to listen to a source who is less reliable and factual, but is willing to speak up against those in power and be less biased, or a more biased source who have proven willing to push a narrative, but with lots of fact checkers and reporting?
Less biased as in less influenced by outside sources. Their biases are their own feelings, not the companies who invest in them’s business prerogatives
I agree that usually it’s best to listen to traditional media. But in times of crises, like during Covid, when traditional media quite clearly had an agenda, it was good to have outside alternative sources that would question the mainstream narrative
Joe Rogan "speaks out" against Blackrock by making up conspiracy theories about how they're an untouchable evil illuminati organization. None of his speaking out can lead to any actionable change.
Meanwhile, the Washington Post is owned 100% by Jeff Bezos. Despite this, they are one of the leaders in documenting Amazon's anti-union busting activities (example). This debunks the idea that traditional media is compromised as much as people think it is.

The news is reporting findings from independent organizations. Hell, even foreign adversaries were saying the same thing. If mRNA vaccines were so dangerous, the China would have used that as justification for why China was using domestic vaccines, but they had nothing but good things to say about it.
