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.

Yeah, and it works wonderfully. Why wouldn’t they roll with it?

We libs think we score some kinda “gotcha!” by pointing to the hypocrisy. It’s not working for us.

They got a formula that works. We do not. Isn’t it about time to abandon the high road and engage in lying, cheating and stealing? Hell, they already think we’re doing it.

It’s almost like other instances of those two elderly gentlemen speaking exists and Rogan can use those as context

Biden is mentally unfit to do 4 more years as president. Trump may also be mentally unfit but he’s a lot more mentally present than Biden

Trump 8 years ago wasn’t as mentally present as Biden is now. That’s not even a defense of Biden - Trump is such a goddamn idiot that he has never in his life been as mentally present as an emu. He has a shit brain and always has.

Not if you actually listen to what they say. But you, and apparently millions of other Americans, only pay attention to energy and not substance. Trump is more energetic than Biden but he’s also completely incoherent. Biden still has a very strong command of policy and the political process, can give and take with reporters on the fly. He just happens to speak less energetically.

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

Not directly related beyond steaming and podcasting apparently rotting people’s brains, but I just watched a stream where a guy tried to cough up a lung and then said “it’s not allergies, chat, it’s just hay fever”

Like, damn bro. You’re about to get clowned on by thirteen year olds with more medical knowledge than you.

In case I’m not the only one who didn’t know what hay fever is:

Hay fever is the common name for allergic rhinitis.

Hay fever is caused by the nose and/or eyes coming into contact with environmental allergens, such as pollens (grasses, weeds or trees), dust mite, moulds and animal dander.

Fuckin lmao

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

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

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

He did not acknowledge the logical conclusion that everything he said about Biden being unfit should then in theory be applied to Trump. No, Trump just “fucked up”.

If read the article critically, you would not accept such a lazy correction.

I actually watched the podcast for the context of this article. You’re right, he doesn’t apply the same scrutiny towards Trump. Yet, he does acknowledge it and they showed the clip of Trump’s idiotic speech. They also laugh at him, but then move on. Anyone that actually watches the podcast, the ones you’re afraid will be manipulated into fascism or whatever, would have seen that recanted. The only side that has a real opinion swaying agenda is the media side. A lot of people just read headlines and move on. Those people would never even be aware of the correction.

Also, I don’t care. I know Joe Rogan has different political views than I do and that doesn’t stop me from seeing him as a person that is entitled to his own views. I can still respect him for his work in comedy, mma and for his podcast. I haven’t watched a full one in a while, but he has some good ones with interesting people. He also has a way of interviewing people that seems mich more real than most other formats. He just shoots the shit with people and it doesn’t feel like some scripted intentional message they’re trying to put out.

You are mistaken in thinking that changes anything.

Fascists only need to blast their message. Any incorrectness or recanting is 100% irrelevant and inconsequential.

When the nazis roll over the government and burn it all down, I swear, there’ll be this 10% subset of people befuddled that this could be happening after all of the recanting. It doesn’t matter. Don’t let them convince you it matters.

Like blasting headlines about how shitty Joe Rogan is? I’ve seen a ton of them and pretty much all of them are overblown, taken out of context or misleading. Media knows you guys love to hate him, that’s why they put out these pieces in the first place.

Also, I fail to see how someone wanting to put down Biden is bad. People are entitled to their opinions and views, even if they aren’t what you agree with. I seriously doubt Joe Rogan is plotting to make America fascist. Biden is not without his faults as well. His main selling point is that he isn’t Trump.
