Leftist media continues to attack Joe Rogan

We all know why they are doing it: It is because if you simply mention Joe Rogan you get more clicks than a real story would and that is precisely what Insider is doing with their latest hitpiece that I am sure will not affect Rogan's audience numbers in any way.

Insider.com is unsurprisingly, a leftist organization who latches on to anything that is deemed by the liberal gods to be a cause and then they run with it and like a lot of their cohorts, simply make up the information that they need in order to get their story out.

This is their recent headline:

If you bother to read the article you will see that even Insider is willing to admit that Mr. Rogan, who is the king of media these days, never actually made the comparison that they are suggesting that he did... but then again, when did actual facts actually matter to those in the press these days?

What Joe actually said was this: "As soon as you see something, anything, that comes along and inhibits your freedom, you should be very cautious." During this presentation, there are various images that appear during the video of dictators and other leaders that removed freedom from their populations in the name of their own protection... one of these images was of Hitler - who is of course one of the all time kings of taking away freedoms.

Joe Rogan at no point suggested that the United States is headed towards as Nazi-like existence nor did he make any comparison to our current leaders being Nazi-esque. What he did suggest, is something that is very true: That we are being coerced by force into doing something that a great many people in the United States and around the world are not interested in - the introduction of vaccine passports and the limitation of freedom of those who refuse to comply.

The person that Insider is referring to has accused Rogan's statements of fueling hate, antisemitism, and violence and I'd like to believe that when a rational person reads these words would just shake their heads and say 'huh?"

Of course the TikTok. user who is known colloquially as the "TikTok. Grandpa" saw his numbers skyrocket as soon as he attacked Joe Rogan. So in my mind this is just another person that is attempting to ride the coat-tails of Rogan's success to gain some fame for themselves and this will be short lived.

I'm not surprised that an individual would use this tactic to gain followers, even if it is on a platform as dumb as TikTok. Individuals are not and honestly shouldn't be held to any sort of journalistic standard because they are just making dumb videos for "likes." However, when Insider latches on to this "story" and fills in the blanks to complete the unfounded claims and attempt to paint Rogan as an anti-Semite, that is just irresponsible.

Later on in the article they go back to the tired story of how Rogan was "promoting Ivermectin" and they once again do their best to make it look like veterinarian medicine and the briefly refer to the fact that the FDA calls this drug "dangerous in large doses" despite the fact that the FDA approved this medication many years ago and continues to do so. Also, anything is "dangerous in large doses" and Insider can get away with this because their audience is likely tribal and totally down with confirmation bias and wont bother to read between the lines. Large doses of aspirin, broccoli, and even water can be "dangerous." They also don't mention the fact that the CDC actually recommends Ivermectin for anyone moving to the United States - and not just horses.

I did find it funny that at the end of the article Insider states that "Joe Rogan and Spotify did not respond for comment." Yeah, of course they didn't because they know what your website is all about. I wouldn't count on the ever responding to you.

The Joe Rogan Experience regularly features guests that Joe is very aware disagree with him politically and ideologically. Insider on the other hand, only features people that are going to agree with them.

Nice try Insider, but your attempt to smear Rogan's fame isn't going to work and anyone with a tiny bit of objectivity can see exactly what it is that you are trying to do.... and it is precisely this sort of activity that keeps your failing organization and so many others like it, in the ever-growing pile of journalistic...
