On a recent episode of The Joe Rogan Experience the podcaster criticised “liberal” media outlets for their declining audiences, attributing the exodus to a lack of credibility and extreme bias.
Citing a recent op-ed by Jeff Bezos about Americans’ eroding trust in the news, Rogan noted that outlets like CNN and MSNBC have seen their ratings “crash” post-election.
He argued that their failure to present diverse viewpoints has driven viewers away.
“All these left-wing kooks on YouTube are hemorrhaging subscribers,” Rogan remarked.
He added, “People are speaking with their subscriptions and their purchasing of the Washington Post and the New York Times,” rejecting what he described as an echo chamber disconnected from reality.
Rogan also highlighted a recent New York Times fact-check on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claims about artificial ingredients in breakfast cereal, which he found emblematic of media incompetence.
The fact-check, Rogan said, bizarrely labelled RFK Jr.’s assertion incorrect while admitting the cereal in the U.S. contains harmful chemicals banned in Canada.
“You’re saying something that’s nuts,” Rogan exclaimed, calling out the media’s ideological motivations. He joked that their actions seem so irrational that it feels like they are “secretly working for the Chinese.”
Rogan warned that such behaviour is alienating audiences and further eroding trust in mainstream media, asking, “What are you trying to do? Remove all leftover credibility?”

No one likes to be lied to. There is a word for “Propaganda” and i will add that its companions are “Censure” and “Index” and always appeared during troubled times
Mainstream media are dead to me. Don’t know and don’t care for the w**kers
It’s because we don’t need anyone to save us from “DISINFORMATION”.
Turns out human beings are already pretty good at smelling it a mile away. And it’s all these irrelevant marionette puppets have been peddling since at least 11 Sept 2001 (and likely earlier).
The reality is that only old people watch MSM.
Nobody else believes it obviously.
