There's no mistake. It's his intent to blast Biden, not to speak the truth. He 100% achieved his goal.

If you read the article, it says he was corrected and acknowledged the mistake.

He did not acknowledge the logical conclusion that everything he said about Biden being unfit should then in theory be applied to Trump. No, Trump just "fucked up".

If read the article critically, you would not accept such a lazy correction.

I actually watched the podcast for the context of this article. You're right, he doesn't apply the same scrutiny towards Trump. Yet, he does acknowledge it and they showed the clip of Trump's idiotic speech. They also laugh at him, but then move on. Anyone that actually watches the podcast, the ones you're afraid will be manipulated into fascism or whatever, would have seen that recanted. The only side that has a real opinion swaying agenda is the media side. A lot of people just read headlines and move on. Those people would never even be aware of the correction.

Also, I don't care. I know Joe Rogan has different political views than I do and that doesn't stop me from seeing him as a person that is entitled to his own views. I can still respect him for his work in comedy, mma and for his podcast. I haven't watched a full one in a while, but he has some good ones with interesting people. He also has a way of interviewing people that seems mich more real than most other formats. He just shoots the shit with people and it doesn't feel like some scripted intentional message they're trying to put out.

the ones you're afraid will be manipulated into fascism or whatever, would have seen that recanted.

They would have seen a recantion, yes, but nothing about either saying why he just ranted about Biden's mental fitness with appropriate evidence OR spend some significant time retracting each adjective that he applied to Biden on false information.

He is fucking broadcasting. Stop treating him like a buddy sitting on your couch. He either knows what he is doing, or he has no respect for the power of having a large audience that can internalize messages on his word.

I believe your comment shows a lack of awareness of how people get piped to fascist viewpoints. To be clear, I do not think Rogen is intentionally leading people there, but being an idiot is not a great shield.

How could he not acknowledge it? They played the clip... He was proven incorrect on the air. The issue is that he was using the statement as a reason Biden should be removed, but for Trump it was just a mistake.

You are mistaken in thinking that changes anything.

Fascists only need to blast their message. Any incorrectness or recanting is 100% irrelevant and inconsequential.

When the nazis roll over the government and burn it all down, I swear, there'll be this 10% subset of people befuddled that this could be happening after all of the recanting. It doesn't matter. Don't let them convince you it matters.

Like blasting headlines about how shitty Joe Rogan is? I've seen a ton of them and pretty much all of them are overblown, taken out of context or misleading. Media knows you guys love to hate him, that's why they put out these pieces in the first place.

Also, I fail to see how someone wanting to put down Biden is bad. People are entitled to their opinions and views, even if they aren't what you agree with. I seriously doubt Joe Rogan is plotting to make America fascist. Biden is not without his faults as well. His main selling point is that he isn't Trump.

People are surely entitled to their own opinions. I read yours. I've concluded that you're a moron.

If you don't see the hypocrisy in your own words, then your conclusion doesn't mean much to me.

They are inherently different

Yeah totally, one supports your opinion and the other does not.

Just curious, but why do you think they are different? It's real easy to just say "no you're wrong".

You're ready to die on the hill of false equivalence. And for what? An orange turd, failed coup, and knuckledragging dolts who can barely read? Lmao you're a joke

You're such a tool and you don't even know it.
