    It’s kind of wild how just seeing Joe Rogan’s name in a headline can trigger a full meltdown like this. If you’d actually read the article, you’d know it wasn’t really about him - it was about the broader shift toward podcasts and social media as news sources.

      And that’s part of the fucking problem cuz there are wanna be joe rogans losers listening to him and spreading the same disinformation uncritically, while shitheads who think criticism of these cocksuckers is somehow a bad thing.

      One wonders why, no?

      Also; you’re not making it better by saying there are more idiots like Rogan where people are flocking towards. Left or right, they’re uneducated idiots that got popular for dumb reasons

      We need people to start listening to journalists

        Joe’s the first to admit he’s an uneducated idiot - he’s a comic and a cage fight commentator. He’s had plenty of journalists as guests on his podcast, as have other podcasts like his.
