Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

I am always disheartened when I see his podcast is always at the top of the charts, even left leaning reasonable friends i know listen to it

Some episodes are good. Dave from megadeth for example.

The problem with the podcast is Joe agrees with everyone.

Maybe they’re good? I’ll never know cause I refuse to give views to such a toxic person, and Dave Mustaine? Two toxic morons talking to each other? Sounds like a blast /s

I really enjoy when he has physicists on. That's about it.

Yeah my bad I shouldn't be single handedly propping up the biggest podcast in the world like that I really dropped the ball.

I haven't watched it in years. I just think he has good conversations with real scientists. Cope harder and be useless.

Yep. I have a friend who is very much on the left, but he's also really naïve, so he doesn't see the problem with listening to Rogan.

yeah, imagine being so naïve you think you can listen to things without being corrupted

Too bad he gets "corrupted" because he is naïve and believes the things he hears on Rogan or you would have a point.

Believe it or not, many of Rogan's listeners are even less rigorous about fact checking than he is because they trust his guests even if they don't trust him.
