Joe’s audience isn’t there for fact finding. Hiring fact finders would cost more in ratings than it would in salaries. Joe’s entire purpose in existing is to make facts seem boring and irrelevant.
I somewhat agree, but the issue is that people do in fact take rogan as an authoritative source. A month ago a guy was talking to me about litter boxes in schools. That was debunked over a year ago. I told him it was absolutely bullshit and debunked. He insisted it was real. I asked for his source. He said Joe rogan. I lost my chill a bit and said “oh well then I stand corrected” very sarcastically. To his credit he looked it up and realized he was wrong, but this is the kind of issue rogan causes.
I bet he didn’t stop watching Rogan though. It took me a long time to get it, but I finally figured out that people who believe that nonsense don’t want facts.
