John,
Joe Rogan is no fan of COURIER. Last year, he attacked our podcast because we were one of the first to call him out for peddling right-wing misinformation:
Now he’s having a meltdown because a new Media Matters analysis named him the #1 most influential right-wing media figure online.
In a three-hour conversation, Rogan and Musk:
- Attacked government-funded NGOs as a “gigantic scam”
- Claimed “DOGE” is exposing so much corruption it could get Musk “killed”
- Laughed about banning AP reporters for refusing to call it the “Gulf of America”
- Claimed only Fox News is telling the truth
At one point, Rogan called mainstream outlets like the Associated Press “propaganda campaigns” that “distributed absolute lies.”
Rogan insists he’s still “left-wing” because he supports a social safety net and publicly funded health care. What he doesn’t mention is that the Trump administration is dismantling the Social Security Administration—and Republicans are pushing nearly $1 trillion in Medicaid cuts to help pay for Trump’s tax breaks for the wealthy.
John, Rogan’s podcast is the most downloaded in America, with tens of millions listening. And now he’s mad again—because someone finally said the quiet part out loud.
Rogan can complain all he wants. But we’ll keep doing what we do best: exposing his disinformation machine and correcting the record so voters know the truth. If you’re with us, chip in $25 now to support COURIER’s work.
Thank you for standing with us,
— The COURIER Team
