    To that, Rogan responded, “Oh, so [Trump] fucked up.” Nickal commented, “That’s the thing about media these days. You gotta look into it.”

      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.

              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.

    I seen a bit of this interview yesterday. The article doesn’t cover it all. As soon as these 2 knuckleheads started spewing airports and it was Biden that said this I was confused as this was something Trump said a few years back. Didn’t they know? They ride the media for skewing things and they weren’t even aware of how Trump was called out in the same media for this some time back.

    Below this fellow breaks down the double standard in more detail than the article does. It covers how Rogan and his Guest said no one should listen to Biden and how he is unfit for office due to this airport thing. Then when the producer points out to Rogan that Biden is referring to what Trump previously said, it wasn’t a big deal all of a sudden to Rogan and the guest.

    Trump gets a “whoopsie doodle” pass and Trump is still the better choice in his mind I’m sure. Not saying Biden is a gem of a rose but with how hard the right are trying to pin anything on Biden and failing, Trump is still a rotten to the core choice for endless reasons.

      Its always unfalsifiable. They’re right no matter their position, $100 million > objective reality any day /s

      Thats why estoppel in the legal system and the legal system in general are Trump’s kryptonite, even if it looks like hes constantly usurping it. Make him pin down himself and he just can’t do it so he loses cuz he can’t stop himself from hedging or being sure what he says is going to be universally adored by those he “represents”

      Also, like those Targets that let you steal until its a felony and both of you hit the big time 🎬

            I will give him credit for one thing- when he got lung cancer, he went on a huge apology tour for his promoting smoking, which is more than pretty much any conservative would do today.

              I thought about that then I got mad all over again because of the “Now that it affects me, it’s important!” angle. But yeah, at least he was apologetic about that one thing and it would def be unthinkable any regressive would apologise about anything today.

              Rush Limbaugh (who coincidentally replaced Downey when Downey got fired from his job) took the “smoking is a-ok!” to his lung-cancerous grave

        I listened to him for a while, then found him complaining more and more about the left. That was mostly fine since he complained about conservatives as well and he supported Bernie Sanders, but I got fed up with him because he wouldn’t have liberals on the show to discuss the topics he clearly knew nothing about yet loved to bring up constantly.

        He’s a guy who touts himself on being open, curious, and willing to learn, but what I found was the exact opposite. Any time there was a guest on his show who disagreed with something and the conversation turned into more of a debate, he’d say that having that person on was a mistake. Ultimately I stopped listening when he proved himself to be a blowhard hypocrite.

      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.

            You know there’s a big difference between a liberal and libertarian, right?

            Libertarian - an advocate or supporter of a political philosophy that advocates only minimal state intervention in the free market and the private lives of citizens.

            Liberal - a supporter of policies that are socially progressive and promote social welfare.

          I made a typo because I’m dyslectic and I got corrected. The sentence was “he is like a disease-” and your response is “wishful thinking”? So, you wish he was like a disease? I kinda feel like he already is, so your wish came through. But to what you meant, it’s really horrible to have a disease, wishing that onto the people you oppose makes you as bad as they are. I just wish he would see the harm he does, he would see the world as it really is instead of his vision which is through very polarized glasses, and I wish he would stop spreading his BS.

      Your mistake is interacting with them at all.

      The algorithms know that people who dislike something enough to click a button will be primed to potentially do something like hate-watch or open the video to leave a comment, etc so by interacting you are telling it you were emotionally affected.

      The best way to avoid getting suggested videos like this is to completely ignore them. Do not open it, do not click any buttons on it or hover over it long enough for the preview to start.

      Eventually you’ll only see suggestions like that if you are a regular watcher of videos on the opposite end of the spectrum.

          It’s an AI problem. Because the algorithm only looks at things you have done, which after some time include you looking at its recommendations, it cannot see past the bucket it has you in.

And I do bij so watch a ton of bjj videos, so anytime some channel pops up that uses his clips it’s recommended to me. Still his own channel and that main clipping channel are things I haven’t seen in a long time.

    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.

      Not happening here, once people get a hate boner for someone or something… they’re full on blind to the nuance.

      Yeah it’s the “media”. You have the #1 podcast in the world spreading misinformation. Unfunny fuck nugget prick Rogan.

        It’s only misinformation if it’s consumed as a soundbite devoid of context. And since you’re commenting on my comment highlighting the context, I am legitimately confused as to your issue. If near real-time fact-checking on the very same podcast episode isn’t enough for you: then you may just have an issue with conversational podcasts in general. Stick to printed news.

    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

    It is crazy how large of an audience he has. When he clearly worships Trump, his reaction to finding out it was Trump’s words said enough. Idol worship is an ugly thing.

      Like many other public figures, his rhetoric matches the need for confirmation bias among his listeners. It’s a business based on telling your contingency what they want to hear. Cletus and Merle are your football fans for team MAGA. They’ll be on your side whether you win or lose.

      I don’t think he worships Trump. Unless of course you can provide evidence that he’s even in favor of Trump.

      You won’t though.

        Full moron is more than partial moron.

        A partial moron might believe whatever he’s told but then have a “wait a minute, something’s not right here” moment. A full moron doesn’t have that moment and spreads the problem to others.

        Another example would be a “leopards are my face” moment. A partial moron would be surprised that approaching a leopard caused them bodily harm but learn not to do it again. A full moron would sue the leopard but do it again with their child.

        Another example: a partial moron gets directions, sees the distance, thinks a half tank of gas will get them there and back despite prior trips showing the opposite. But they have a Jerry can in the trunk. A full moron wouldn’t have the Jerry can and buys a bigger vehicle with a larger engine because it comes with a bigger gas tank and then blames the liberals when they still run out of gas.

        Partial = recoverable, full = hopeless

        JustZ is only saying Joe Rogan is a moron. The term “full moron” isn’t a commonly used phrase on its own, but the word “full” followed by an adjective or noun can be used to enhance the descriptive word, such the quote “never go full removed” from the comedy movie “Tropic Thunder”. The context is that an actor played a person with a mental disability in a movie, but they tried too hard, and the performance was uncomfortable for some people.

        I feel compelled to note that I don’t condone using hateful or disparaging language when describing the differently abled.

          They knew exactly what it meant but were trying to use it as some sort of gotcha.

          You gave a really good explanation though, I’d forgotten it was from Tropic Thunder. We were actually just talking about that movie a few days ago, I should watch it again.

    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…

      Look about how serious he was talking about Biden with his anecdotes and shit and how dismissive he was of Trump. He’s a prick.
