At Courier Newsroom our network of local journalists is committed to calling out misinformation for what it is.
Joe Rogan is at it again, John. This marks the third time we’ve been “featured” on his show, which is one of the most popular in the country.
This week, Rogan took a break from platforming conspiracy theorists like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to instead host billionaire Marc Andreessen.
In his interview, Andreessen called our network of local newsrooms “fake news” — citing a right-wing Super PAC as his source. The Super PAC then immediately tweeted a video from the interview, praising Rogan and Andreessen for “unmasking us” (whatever that means 🙄).
This is the Joe Rogan model in action. He says he’s “just asking questions,” but really he’s allowing right-wing bad actors to spread misinformation that gets amplified to millions of people online.
At Courier Newsroom, our network of local journalists is committed to calling out misinformation for what it is and providing fact-based reporting on local events. Will you pitch in $5 or anything you can to support our mission and help us fight back against bad actors like Rogan?

Unlike Rogan, we’re not “just asking questions” — we publish rigorous, fact-based journalism so our readers know the truth about the most important issues in their local communities.
And thanks to the generous support of our grassroots team, we’re taking that truth directly to “news deserts” that lack other reliable sources of local news. Plus, none of our work is locked behind a paywall or subscription fee.
But we can’t do any of our work without your support, John.
So please, pitch in $5 or any amount you can today to support our newsrooms and help us hold Rogan and anyone else who spreads misinformation accountable.

Thanks,
