As “hemorrhaging” corporate media sought to stem their bleeding ratings, Joe Rogan called out the “left-wing kooks” with receipts for why “people are speaking with their subscriptions.”

After demonizing the GOP failed to prevent victory for President-elect Donald Trump and the Republican Party, grief, anger and excuses dominated much of the discussion from the left. Despite clear signs as to what caused across-the-board losses for the Democratic Party, no appreciable change in approach had resulted, and the podcast host was ready to call it out.
Joined by guests Jimmy Corsetti and Dan Richards, Rogan’s Wednesday installment of “The Joe Rogan Experience” turned to a recent Washington Post op-ed from owner Jeff Bezos titled, “The hard truth: Americans don’t trust the news media.”
As he explained it, the billionaire who sought to bring in more conservatives had essentially said “that you have to take divergent viewpoints, you have to take a bunch of different perspectives, we can’t just be the left-wing echo chamber, and it’s the reason why the business is faltering.”
“I was just reading something about CNN’s ratings and MSNBC’s ratings post-election — they’ve crashed,” expressed Rogan. “All these left-wing kooks on YouTube are hemorrhaging subscribers, where people go, ‘You guys are out of touch. You’re not accurate. You’re delusional.’ And people are speaking with their subscriptions and they’re speaking with their purchasing of The Washington Post and their purchasing of The New York Times.”

One example from recent days was how The New York Times had embarrassingly attempted a fact check of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his concerns about artificial ingredients permitted in American foods like Froot Loops.
“The New York Times just debunked — in the most insane way — debunked RFK Jr.’s assertion that the ingredients in Froot Loops are different in Canada than they are in the United States. They fact-checked it, while saying he was accurate, so their fact check — it’s so dumb when you see the fact — I tweeted it,” explained the host. “The fact check is so dumb because the fact check says it’s not correct, they have the same ingredients…except for these harmful chemicals.”
“So they’re literally saying he was wrong, but he was right,” decried Rogan.
“That’s The New York f*cking Times!…this is what The New York Times is doing, so, of course, you’re gonna hemorrhage subscribers, of course. You’re crazy, you’re saying something that’s nuts and also — what is your motivation?” he posited, questioning why the Gray Lady would present a challenge to Kennedy’s vocal opposition to harmful ingredients. “If we’re saying that these things have been eliminated in other countries because they’ve been proven to be dangerous — what is your motivation for saying he was wrong?”
As ideology and money were presented as possibilities, Rogan went on, “What are you trying to do? Are you trying to remove all leftover credibility? Are you trying to eliminate — because you lost so much credibility — are you trying to kill it all? Are you secretly working for the Chinese? Like, what are you doing?”
