Does the assistant apply the same rigor to Rogan’s claims?
- pixxel 6y agoHe does. Also Rogan himself often glances at Jamie, his assistant, as to say; I’m I right about that fact, right?
- me_me_me 6y agoThis is not a journalistic podcast but casual conversations podcast. He is a comedian afterall. They google things up and Rogan call people on BS when they contradict themselves, but they are not always right and they fall for some BS themselves.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoThat's no defense. "I'm joking bro" does not justify spreading harmful lies.
- me_me_me 6y agoHarmful lies, like what exactly? You have morons out there saying corona is fake and mask are tool of enslavement + the whole Q mess. Rogan is saying to wear masks and stay healthy. Only think that he is saying wrong is the amount of vitamins to take (he is actually taking too much). And he has no "I'm joking bro". As a matter of fact he is quite humble and admits when he is wrong. I don't know what you expect him to do? Fact check every minute of 3h conversation? Look what you did, you roped me into defending podcast I listen to few time a month...
- in_cahoots 6y agoI’ve never listened to the show and don’t know enough to have an opinion on him. But if you employ a fact-checker they have to be checking both sides. Otherwise it’s biased; people will misremember things even in good faith. And it seems that Rogan was wrong about some claims about the wildfires in Oregon — he admitted it on Twitter, but where was the fact-checker in that case?
