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.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 10 months ago

"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.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 33 points 10 months ago

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

What's fun is the moment he realized it was Trump. He went from Biden should be removed because mentally unfit, to well Trump just misspoke

[–] [email protected] 273 points 10 months ago (3 children)

I'm going to just trust you that he said it because I can't listen to that dumb fuck ramble all day.

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months 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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 10 months 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

That idiot is the reason I dropped Spotify. I don't want my money funding such a dipshit.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 10 months ago (3 children)

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.

hmm its almost like joe rogan is an aboslute idiot and the real life embodiment of a thumb-thumb from spykids

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.

YouTube needs content filters

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

Joe Rogans mental decline in the last few years is astonishing.

On the Dec. 21 episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience,” which has been the No. 1 podcast on Spotify for the past three years

It should be noted that Rogan has an exclusive deal with Spotify so Spotify is the only place you can listen to Rogan, which is probably largely responsible for his #1 spot on the platform.

I believe that deal ends later this week. I haven't seen anything to indicate it will be renewed.
