Joe Rogan is clearly a liar

https://www.yahoo.com/news/joe-rogan-says-endorsed-trump-010606144.html

Joe says he voted for Trump because he was concerned about Tim Walz honesty. Because Trump is famous for telling the truth. Holy crap man, you voted for a guy that lied to the FBI and hid stolen government secrets because Tim misremembered the date of a trip to China decades ago and Joe doesn't understand how military retirement ranks work? He is lying. He voted for Trump because Trump is a racist misogynistic asshole just like Joe. He just has to pretend it was for another reason. But we know it isn't honesty because Trump is the champion Liar of all politicians. Joe, tgus, is a dishonest Liar too. Completely dishonest. Scumbag.

That Comedy Central essentially tried to replace Jimmy Kimmel with this no talent idiot two decades ago, and failed miserably.

other alternative sources of media/information are reaching far more people, especially young males, than any of the traditional media outlets. Additionally the long form interview format of podcasts like Rogan's seems to be much more effective that the sound bite format of traditional news.

Basically we can mock him all we want to to dismiss his influence and reach is a grave mistake.

I think Jon Stewart was totally wrong about the Democrats not trying to get more involved in the social media. Jon thinks we can use Joe and the existing media, but clearly Joe has a bias. Joe mixes Fauci and Tyson with complete crack pots giving weight to the insane. You can't use a show like that get your message out. You need a show with a real media filter.

It is far better to promote those channels already friendly to their cause with their own channels and, God forbid, getting their own out there with an actual media filter.

He's an oaf, but he's a comedian who can be funny and has a lot of interesting stories to tell. he reaches tens of millions of people. He might be more influential than any other pubic figure in the country. Walz or Harris should have went on his show.
