Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

MODERATORS
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.
Because a lot of people are dumb and easily manipulated.
That's also why Joe Rogans stupid conspiracy theories and political bias can be dangerous, sometimes. Stupid people will believe every word like he knows what he's talking about.
I don't hate him or think he's evil, either, fwiw. He's just a dumb out of touch rich guy with too many gullible fans.
