John, it’s about Joe Rogan.
He’s taken his role in spreading bad information to a whole new level. Rogan just used his podcast to spread false election fraud claims made by failed candidate for Governor of Arizona, Kari Lake.
What Rogan doesn’t mention is that these fraud claims have been struck down in court. Instead, he fans the flames on Lake’s conspiracy theories — all while reaching tens of millions of listeners.
If Joe Rogan won’t fact-check his own work, it’s up to us to do it. At Courier Newsroom, we’re taking on grifters like Rogan and debunking the misinformation he’s spreading by publishing accessible, trustworthy local news stories. If you believe in our mission, please chip in $5 now.
John, this isn’t Rogan’s first time platforming bad actors and misinformation. He’s hosted the likes of RFK Jr., Alex Jones, and Candace Owens, giving them the opportunity to share their extreme, misinformation-fueled beliefs with millions of people online.
These controversial guests and sound bites drive clicks and profits all at the expense of the truth and, in this case, trust in our elections.
Unlike Joe Rogan, we never put the truth last — especially when it comes to state and local elections. That’s why we have news teams working across 8 different battleground states, including Arizona.
As we get deeper and deeper into the 2024 election, it’s clear we have our work cut out for us. We’re setting a goal to raise $6,500 by midnight so we can hire more journalists, boost our stories, and grow our reach. Will you join us in the fight against bad information by chipping in $5?
