Molly Jong-Fast: Mainstream Media Is ‘so Small and so Splintered’; Dems Need to Go on ‘Podcaster Bro Landscape’

EXCERPT:

JONG-FAST: “He’s amazing and he’s doing a thing which I had been so trying to sort of say how important it was for such a long time, which is he’s going to the place where the voters are, right? The only way to get in front of Joe Rogan’s, you know, millions, tens of millions, and tens and tens of millions of viewers is to go on his show. And that, I think, is so important. The other thing I would say about Joe Rogan is, you’ll remember, Joe Rogan endorsed Bernie Sanders in 2016. The reason that Trump was able to take this ground, right, the podcaster bro landscape, was because Democrats really ceded it by not going on in these spaces. And they made decisions about why not to go into these spaces that may have been the right decisions at the time, but now are clearly not how to run for office. You can’t get in front of these voters any other way but going on these podcasts. And maybe they’re not — maybe you don’t endorse all of their theories and all of their beliefs, you still have to go there because that’s where the voters are.”
