MSNBC was called on the carpet by mega-podcaster Joe Rogan who accused the left-leaning cable news channel of “deceptively editing” a clip to show him praising Vice President Kamala Harris.
The host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” blasted MSNBC on his show Tuesday as he discussed being taken out of context with neuroscientist and podcaster Andrew Huberman. Rogan clarified that he is “not suing MSNBC” though rumors were circulating purporting that he was going to file a lawsuit for the video put out by the network a few weeks ago.
“But this is what MSNBC did: They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris,” he explained about the video that has since been deleted.

Creating a mashup of two separate clips, one showing Rogan praising Gabbard and another saying Harris could win the 2024 presidential election, the network “deceptively edited the things that I was saying” and “took it completely out of context,” Rogan contended.
“I was talking about Tulsi Gabbard being a congresswoman for eight years and about how she served overseas [as part of] two deployments in medical service dealing with people who were blown up by the war,” Rogan said of the former Hawaii Representative and National Guard veteran.
“That’s not something Kamala Harris did. That’s something Tulsi Gabbard did,” he added of the ex-Democrat who endorsed former President Donald Trump this week.
Rogan noted that MSNBC “put it out there as a clip of me praising Kamala Harris.”
Gabbard blasted MSNBC at the time for the clip, calling the channel “a propaganda machine for the Democrat Elite” which will “brazenly try to deceive the American people.”
MSNBC is again EXPOSED as a propaganda machine for the Democrat Elite, and how they will brazenly try to deceive the American people.

She added that it was “another violation of the FEC law by failing to report their propaganda as a contribution to Kamala’s campaign.”
“We have removed an earlier version of this post that incorrectly implied Joe Rogan was talking more about Vice President Kamala Harris. He was referring to Tulsi Gabbard,” MSNBC noted in a correction after removing the video in question.
Rogan asserted Tuesday that “they don’t care about the truth.”
“They just want a narrative to get out there amongst enough people because most people are just surface readers” who “read a headline” and say “‘Oh, I know what that is’ and they shut your laptop.”
“All you have to do is take something out of context from someone who’s never gonna watch it in the first place,” he added, noting that most people will not bother to look into the details but will walk away making assumptions based on the headline, even if it is misleading.
