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"

Until they are in a courtroom then they're entertainment

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.

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

[–] glimse@lemmy.world 53 points 9 months ago

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

Bo Nickal (the person who said that) is an MMA fighter.

Exactly the person you'd want on your show for nuanced political discussion. Thank you once again, Joe Rogan.

[–] OlPatchy2Eyes@lemmy.world -3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The show isn't for nuanced political discussion lol

Then maybe they shouldn't keep trying to have them.

[–] OlPatchy2Eyes@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago

True. A few years ago I started watching old JRE videos and enjoyed them, but when I started watching the videos as they came out, I found the show sucked because Rogan wasn't just platforming people anymore, he was actively pushing his own beliefs because he'd become convinced he was an expert on everything.

Hey fucko, you’re part of the media

Bo Nickal said the second quote referring to the media. Not Rogan.
