Before watching the episode, I had always relied on mainstream news sources to stay informed about current events. Tim Pool discussed how Twitter and other social media platforms can be used to spread misinformation and propaganda, and how these platforms have an increasing power in shaping public opinion, also how these platforms are not neutral and have their own agenda, and how these platform’s executives may not be telling the truth about their policies and practices.
Tim Pool discussed how traditional news outlets often have a bias, whether it be political or corporate, and how this can affect the way they report on certain issues. He also talked about how new media platforms, such as YouTube and Twitter, have allowed for more diverse voices to be heard and for information to be shared more quickly.
After listening to this episode, I started to pay more attention to independent journalists and alternative media sources. I began to question the narratives presented by mainstream media and to seek out different perspectives. I also started following Tim Pool on YouTube and Twitter, where he regularly shares his thoughts and analysis on current events.
Overall, seeing Tim Pool on the Joe Rogan Experience opened my eyes to the importance of diversity in news and the power of new media platforms. It has changed the way I watch my news and has helped me to become a more critical and informed consumer of information.
