That Joe is compromised is certainly a problem, but the more subtle problem, I've come to realize, is that people put their faith in such people and outsource their discernment to them. This is the same whether it's Anderson Cooper or Sean Hannity or Joe Rogan or Graham Hancock. You just get different helpings of sugar with different ones to help very similar medicines go down.
Of the top three far and away most important researchers I know of on the Internet, one of them gets stuff wrong all the time and another I am certain is a disinformation agent.
The third, Mark Passio, is the only one whose work I could recommend without being very selective and/or adding a bunch of caveats. That's only because he's an extraordinarily meticulous thinker and presenter.

Such is the role of the sheep and the shepherd. But there are so many wolves in sheep's clothing...
