Patrick Bet-David, the Armenian-Assyrian-American entrepreneur and CEO of Valuetainment, was ranked on the annual “Most Influential in News Media” list, which ranks 2023’s biggest “movers and shakers” in the media world. The list was published by Mediaite, a media-focused reporting outlet.
“¨This was Bet-David’s first time making the list alongside media legends like Anderson Cooper and Sean Hannity, cultural icons like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan, and influential outsiders like Ben Shapiro and Charlamagne tha God, this year’s list.
In its assessment of Patrick Bet-David, Mediate wrote: “You might have noticed that no shortage of 2023’s viral moments online seemed to occur around a small table framed by comfortable office chairs and the nondescript ‘PBD Podcast’ watermark in the left corner of the screen.”
PBD, “the increasingly influential entrepreneur” who ranked 70th on the list, was celebrated for his wide range of podcast guests, which has included Andrew Tate, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Chris Cuomo, Jeremy Boreing, Roger Stone, Ann Coulter, and many more in this year alone.
Mediaite even called attention to some of the most viral moments from the PBD Podcast in 2023, including Chris Cuomo admitting that he might vote for Trump and Ron DeSantis addressing the infamous “bootgate” conspiracy.
Mediaite wrote, “Bet-David has a knack for attracting interesting guests and getting them to say interesting things. In so doing, he’s amassed a large audience on YouTube (where his show boasts 1.5 million subscribers and his episodes get millions of views), becoming a go-to for those interested in learning more about the conservative media ecosystem.”
