Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Bias fucking bullshit. Why is Joe Rogan named and not the podcast that usurped him? Media fucking blows
They name it in the first sentence, and at least for me, given it's longevity and word of mouth I know what Joe Rogan implies, but if you said "MeidasTouch" in the headline, I'd have no idea the implication of that shift, since I haven't listened to either of the two.
You can do both in a title.
You can, but clickbait rags want you to click to find out what they intentionally left out of the title.

Wdym? It literally says the podcast name is "The MeidasTouch Podcast" in the first sentence.
Headlines are important
Per the other comment, headlines. Internet dwellers read the headline to decide whether or not to read something. You can think of a headline as involuntary information injection.
So Newsweek wants everyone to see Joe Rogan's name but not MeidasTouch.
If only they would bother to vote.
That's where you come in my friend. It's going to take boots in the ground and hard work to get people to vote. I'm going to do my part, I hope you will to. 💙
Let’s see if there’ll be another chance.
Why don't they list MeidasTouch in the headline?
Better title: "Pro-America podcast MeidasTouch dethrones shitty pro-donvict podcast in the charts"
Eeeeh. I can't be the only one who won't touch something described as "pro-America" with a ten foot pole.
I think it's a mistake to let the right winger take claim to everything related to patriotism and national symbols.

Just listened a bit. These guys deep dive quite a bit, but I hope that this bump is from people who are previous Trump voters that now realize how fucked they are by Trump and get angry.

Less than a month into the new administration, the rise of the left-leaning MeidasTouch to become the country's most popular podcast indicates a potential shift in tone currently resonating with Americans.
Is it actually Leftist or is it liberal? I'd welcome a number one Leftist show, but I don't think most USA citizens are politically literate enough to know the difference. We've been brainwashed by decades of propaganda to think liberalism is synonymous with Leftist.

I was wondering why my dad texted me today to tell me George Soros was planning to fund anti Trump podcasts
crazy to me that he's thinking the guy who might be funding anti Trump podcasts is a threat and not the richest man in the world who has agents infiltrating and collecting data on every government agency. Like, is dudes tin foil hat on right?

Sad to say, but it's likely some of this bump they're getting is TYT listeners/viewers leaving after Cenk and Anna's latest spar with literally everyone near their orbit (and even losing some contributors). Many -oh so many- disaffected MSNBC viewers turned to non-traditional media after 2016, I cannot imagine how many might be leaving for more actually progressive sources after the recent election... but TYT has fumbled the bag here by both attacking other progressives AND doing shit like Charlie Kirk "debates" and interviews with Tucker Carlson.
I really hope they turn the ship around, because going after MAGA die hards isn't the answer. At any rate, Majority Report seems to be doing just fine so there's that.
TYT telling the trans woman on staff that "Ana knows better than she does about how to help the trans community" was the final straw for me. You don't get to silence a minority group by saying you're doing it for their benefit.
The subsequent doubling down of "actually we're the victims here!" was just confirmation.
I don't know these people but even just reading that already made me so tired. I'm so ready for everybody to forget we exist again.
2020-2030 is really making 2000-2010 seem like paradise out here, which is something I never thought I'd say, as a trans woman who barely survived 2000-2010. 🙃

According to Podscribe.
Which collects data from more than the single-source Spotify.
