To that, Rogan responded, “Oh, so [Trump] fucked up.” Nickal commented, “That’s the thing about media these days. You gotta look into it.”

Hey fucko, you're a part of the media

The ol' Fox news switcheroo.

They brag about being the most watched news on television and also tell their viewers to not trust mainstream media.

"most watched news"

"don't trust media"

"we are for entertainment only not news and no reasonable person would think so"

Not only that, with being one of the most popular podcasts ever you could even call it mainstream.

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

Yeah. His show is the most advertised podcast of all time. You're not getting 200 million for an indie show

[–] squiblet@kbin.social 26 points 1 year ago

Apparently, the misleading part of the media they are complaining about.

Joe Rogan calling people out over mental fitness is a prime example of a pot calling a kettle black.

[–] NYPariah@reddthat.com 23 points 1 year ago

A kettlebell black. (I kid, I kid.)

There's no mistake. It's his intent to blast Biden, not to speak the truth. He 100% achieved his goal.

Maybe Rogan needs a new, younger, fresher host on that show.

Rogan should step down as we see his mental facilities are in decline.

It's depressing to watch a thumb get old.

I seen a bit of this interview yesterday. The article doesn't cover it all. As soon as these 2 knuckleheads started spewing airports and it was Biden that said this I was confused as this was something Trump said a few years back. Didn't they know? They ride the media for skewing things and they weren't even aware of how Trump was called out in the same media for this some time back.

Below this fellow breaks down the double standard in more detail than the article does. It covers how Rogan and his Guest said no one should listen to Biden and how he is unfit for office due to this airport thing. Then when the producer points out to Rogan that Biden is referring to what Trump previously said, it wasn't a big deal all of a sudden to Rogan and the guest.

Trump gets a "whoopsie doodle" pass and Trump is still the better choice in his mind I'm sure. Not saying Biden is a gem of a rose but with how hard the right are trying to pin anything on Biden and failing, Trump is still a rotten to the core choice for endless reasons.

In short: Joe Rogan is a crypto-fascist.

[–] cmbabul@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The crypto is debatable at this point

At least a few months back Alex Jones was bragging about finally converting Rogan to his side. He'd been telling his audience for years he's been working on getting Rogan to take his stance.

Its always unfalsifiable. They're right no matter their position, $100 million > objective reality any day /s

Thats why estoppel in the legal system and the legal system in general are Trump's kryptonite, even if it looks like hes constantly usurping it. Make him pin down himself and he just can't do it so he loses cuz he can't stop himself from hedging or being sure what he says is going to be universally adored by those he "represents"

Also, like those Targets that let you steal until its a felony and both of you hit the big time 🎬

Rogan is a truly horrible human being. I absolutely cannot stand that asshole. He is the walking and talking Dunning-Krueger Effect. He is a washed up comedian who moved on to making people eat disgusting stuff on a shitty reality show to thinking he is some sort of brilliant host.

[–] creamed_eels@toast.ooo 28 points 1 year ago (13 children)

He’s like the unfortunate result of Jerry Springer, Rush Limbaugh and Morton Downey Jr spreading idiocy and bullshit everywhere, setting the stage

I also hate how he's appropriated the acronym "JRE" from programming to a right wing conspiracy show. Say what you want about Java but it doesn't deserve this.

I can't believe I used to listen to him lol he got me with the scientist interviews... Like not the Egyptian aliens types, but people like Neil Degrass Tyson.

Then I listened enough to realize he's a jackass right winger pretending that liking weed puts him on the left somehow, kinda like Bill Maher. Yeah yeah Bill you're tolerant of "the gays" and you like weed, but he's center right if anything, again pretending he's on the left for his ratings.

I keep getting videos of Rogan pushed on YouTube, while I constantly mark them as "not interested" of report them as "fake news". He's like a horrible decease you never can get rid of.

Here's a direct excerpt from the article OP linked:

Shortly after the exchange during the show, “The Joe Rogan Experience” producer Jamie Vernon cut in to correct Rogan. Vernon played a clip that Rogan had cited, which was in fact a video of Biden mocking “stable genius” Trump for the comments about airports in the Revolutionary War. Then Vernon ran a video clip of Trump’s “Salute to America” remarks from July 4, 2019, in which the former president praised Americans’ military efforts in the war against Great Britain.

In the speech, Trump said in part, “Our army manned the air, it rammed the ramparts, it took over the airports, it did everything it had to do, and at Fort McHenry, under the rockets’ red glare, it had nothing but victory.” (Meanwhile, Fort McHenry was the site of a key American victory over the British navy in the War of 1812, not the Revolutionary War.)

To that, Rogan responded, “Oh, so [Trump] fucked up.” Nickal commented, “That’s the thing about media these days. You gotta look into it.”

I dont watch the podcast, but please: let's exhibit some media literacy while we criticize others for their supposed lack of media literacy.

This perfectly showcases the multi tier belief system from Joe and his goons…

  • If Biden says it, he is mentally done
  • If the orange turd says it, the bro slipped

This guy right here is the reason some 1,500 jobs were lost from Spotify.

Talk about overpaid piece of shit.

It is crazy how large of an audience he has. When he clearly worships Trump, his reaction to finding out it was Trump's words said enough. Idol worship is an ugly thing.

The problem is, none of his listeners will care, he'll go back to blasting Biden tomorrow and supporting Trump. And his listeners eat it up...

To be fair Rogan is a raging dipshit that was not quite as funny as Andy Dick. How he achieved an actual following is mind boggling.

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ml 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There are a lot of raging dipshits to make an audience out of.
