    Rogan is one of the dumbest people on the planet and got famous making people eat blended rats on TV.

    How the hell did we get to a place where we’re looking to him for legitimate journalism?

      He was a first mover on podcasts, and already being a reality TV celebrity he got a lot of big guests early on.

      He has never claimed to be a legitimate journalist. He has said repeatedly that you shouldn’t take him too seriously - he’s a cage fight commentator after all.

        Maybe he should shut his mouth instead of just spewing stupid and obvious lies instead of hiding behind lazy shields like I’m NoT a LeGiTiMaTe JoUrNaLiSt or I’m JuSt AsKiNg QuEsTiOnS?

        I hate how people defend stupid celebs spewing obvious lies like this.

      A generation of people used a comedian for news, and now they are mad it’s a different comedian.

        One of them is an uncritical moron. The other one actually made some salient points on occasion.

      I read something years ago that you should always at least acknowledge people. If I try to say hello or how are you, etc to someone passing by and they don’t acknowledge me back, especially if they’re in a position “above” me, then I lose all respect for them immediately.
