Anthony Cumia appeared multiple times on The Joe Rogan Experience, where he engaged in discussions touching upon media critique, dystopian concepts, and modern societal structures. During one episode, Cumia recommended Matt Taibbi's book Hate Inc., asking the host if he had read it and noting how the text details the inner workings and business model of the modern news industry. Across other appearances, Cumia frequently referenced George Orwell's classic dystopian novel 1984 to analyze current events and cultural shifts. He reflected on how elements of the book that once seemed far-fetched now mirror contemporary realities, particularly remarking on how the manipulation of language and semantics depicted in Orwell's work feels increasingly real in modern society. Through these discussions, Cumia utilized literature to critique mainstream media narratives and draw attention to evolving forms of societal control and public discourse, aligning his conversational points with classic cautionary tales of state power and media manipulation.
