Rogan is one of the dumbest people on the planet and got famous making people eat blended rats on TV.

How the hell did we get to a place where we're looking to him for legitimate journalism?

Follower count equals legitimacy

[–] rational_lib@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

He was a first mover on podcasts, and already being a reality TV celebrity he got a lot of big guests early on.

He has never claimed to be a legitimate journalist. He has said repeatedly that you shouldn't take him too seriously - he's a cage fight commentator after all.

Maybe he should shut his mouth instead of just spewing stupid and obvious lies instead of hiding behind lazy shields like I'm NoT a LeGiTiMaTe JoUrNaLiSt or I'm JuSt AsKiNg QuEsTiOnS?

I hate how people defend stupid celebs spewing obvious lies like this.

I'm sure you're never wrong about anything. Maybe you should start a podcast.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

Oh, I'm wrong about plenty. But nice attempt to deflect.

If people didn't take him seriously this article wouldn't need to exist.
