      Well, that’s just bullshit.

      We’ve been seeing the destructive power of the media legitimizing unsupported ideas. Fox News, Info Wars, and other outlets are what led to things like January 6th. So seeing someone like Rogan, who has a giant fan base and a popular show that gives credence to wildly inaccurate information pisses off a lot of us. I complain about it because it makes me angry, not because doing so makes me feel superior.

      Yeah if people go to a game show host/sports commentator for their political or scientific worldview that isn’t my problem.

        It is a problem for most of us who live in the US because those are the type of people who are now getting elected and bringing the country backwards.
