    The problem with Rogan is that he doesn’t have the knowledge or qualifications to push back against people spewing bullshit on his show, and so he ends up essentially making fringe, pseudo-scientific ideas seem equal to the mainstream expert consensus view.

      the problem with rogan is that he agrees with the worst people on his show. he doesn’t push back because he doesn’t want to. he peaked on news radio.

      Nah they are wrong, Joe isn’t a dumb guy, he’s not doing what he’s doing because he’s some dumb meathead, he’s doing it for money, fame, and to finally be part of the in-groups, which means power, he finally has a president(Trump) that accepts him and hob knobs with him.

      Joe has always been a cynical self serving libertarian type, if you went back and listened or watched some of his old standup comedy you would get a better idea of how far Rogan has fallen, he’s become a lot of what he hated. There was a time when people used to think that Joe would be the next George Carlin, now he’s just a more palatable and successful Alex Jones.

      I’m okay with skeptical and verifying but he doesn’t challenge all his guests equally. I’m not saying he should be perfect, but there are some really far out ideas that need more questioning before I’m personally satisfied.

        he is a cunt, literally lied about how he heard they are putting cat litter into classes so that kids eho identify as cats have somewhere to go, then when called out on it that it’s bullshit he just said it’s a joke or something.

        the real reason litter was being put into classes was so that if a school shooting happens kids have somewhere to go and it doesn’t go everywhere

        it’s covered in Some more News’ Moral panic video
