    I see what you’re saying, but I disagree in this case. It’s entirely possible for a well informed person to be lured into a situation where they are made to look like a fool, regardless of how good their information is. This is especially true if the subject is complicated and the audience doesn’t have enough knowledge to detect the bullshit, which is exactly the scenario that would exist on Rogan. Furthermore, with Rogan as an uninformed moderator, there is a good chance that he would further legitimize the misinformation by agreeing with it when he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

Research that they did on their own or the lazy research of just believing the mainstream media without question. People that disagree with the mainstream media narrative WANT to hear facts that may change their opinion. Other people fear facts that expose that what they believe in is false. History clearly shows us that governments that banned debate did it to keep the truth from people
