Joe Rogan Slams CNN: ‘This is so preposterous’

During a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Podcast,” Joe Rogan criticized CNN’s reputation for unbiased reporting, triggered by a comment made by Stephen Colbert on “The Late Show.”

Colbert’s remark, stating that CNN is “objective,” prompted laughter from the audience, highlighting the public’s perception that such a claim is ridiculous.

“Start it from the beginning and go big screen because this is so preposterous,” Rogan said.

“How crazy is that? The audience is like shut the [expletive] up. That is hilarious. They thought he was being a joker. They thought that was a joke. That’s how crazy this world has gotten, where [expletive] CNN being unbiased is a joke to people in the audience. That’s so crazy,” he said.

“If you were running a business, what did you accomplish by doing things that way? You’ve ruined your business because now, people think you’re full of [expletive] and you could’ve just been actual, just straightforward journalists and been beyond reproach and probably gotten away with,” Rogan said.

“But you wouldn’t have got as much money. You gotta get those ads in,” he joked.

“I know you guys are objective over there, that you just report the news as it is,” Colbert said.

“No, no no —” Colbert said as the audience broke into laughter.

“CNN makes a…” he said, trailing off.

“Was that supposed to be a laugh line?” CNN’s Kaitlin Collins said.

“It wasn’t supposed to be, but I guess it is,” Colbert said, changing the subject.

Rogan argued that CNN has deviated from genuine journalism in pursuit of profit, suggesting that such a decline has damaged its credibility.

He reflected on the audience’s reaction as indicative of the broader perception of CNN as “full of [expletive].”
