How does media coverage differ when it comes to reporting on government corruption and influence buying?

Joe Rogan highlights a stark disconnect in media coverage regarding government corruption. He describes listening to left-wing podcasts that completely ignore obvious corruption and influence-buying schemes that are being uncovered by investigators like Mike Benz and Elon Musk's team of financial auditors. This media blindness creates separate information ecosystems where different audiences receive entirely different narratives about the same governmental issues. Rogan suggests that while some outlets focus on exposing USAID mismanagement and regulatory capture, others seem to operate in a completely different reality, failing to acknowledge these systemic problems. The result is a fragmented public discourse where citizens consuming different media sources have vastly different understandings of government accountability and corruption, making it difficult to achieve consensus on addressing these institutional problems.
