Rogan pretends to be a yo-yo more often than not - like Tim, seems like a good guy but he's not an effective anchor point of reality either...

But - he brings a lot more to the table than Pool - Rogan has done some really good 2-hour+ interviews/discussions with people I had already found interesting.

Rogan has some humility in the moment and will often go through an on the air process of assimilating new information - it's his schtick and works well in drawing you into a conversation.

Rogan is often only as good as his guest.

It all falls apart if he loses the veneer of humility - he starts to collapse when he relies on his own assertions.

Yes, for sure - he also has enough media savvy to realize that selling us on his "political evolution" would be effective entertainment.

I don't blame his for that - but it's that "dramatic tension' that attracted many of his viewers - I took a cynical approach early on because Tim couldn't quite convince me of his earnestness.

Political equivalent of a "dick tease". I mean we see these same types who openly discuss facts that indicate a widespread effort to take down Trump and MAGA but then will scornfully deny that there is any type of "coordinated/organized/connected/concerted effort" AKA conspiracy. Cuz, you know, that would totally be crazee!
