      I read it.


      I didn't know about his misinformation bit.


      CNN and Chuck Schumer spread misinformation too. Most recently yesterday or today was something about a lie Schumer told and CNN repeated it, reported on it, regarding Dems not being in the loop about the Iran bombings briefings — or something to that effect. I read it looking for your Rogan character. The story I read a few hours ago looks to be scrubbed as all I can find is this from CNN’s page


      Correction: This story has been updated to make clear Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was called before the strike, not after as initially reported.

        After I posted last, I found something on what I was talking about, from Yahoo from Fox -

        White House calls CNN 'fake news' for report claiming Democratic leadership wasn't briefed on Iran strike

          Rogan spreads misinformation, and Schumer/CNN lie —-- guess it's tit-for-tat.

            I’d like to think it's more of an opinion platform than a misinformation platform like Alex Jones.


            And if I was betting man, if you had a platform like Rogan, you’d tell your opinion too. Then again, you do have this as your platform. So you have that.

              I don't think Schumer is a good apple either.

                Except his platform is so big that he has a duty to present valid information.

                What Rogan does and there's a few others who do this as well is he often asks questions. That's what he does. He then brings on a lot people who all share a similar view and continues to just "ask questions". That's not valid. He's trying to tell people something under the disguise that he is asking questions.

                He doesn't really present things as opinions now. He presents it as fact. Ever since the election he has just constantly brought on people who will agree with his viewpoints.

                  Hmmmm?


                  Big National platform?


                  Hmmmm?


                  Lots of followers, listenership or viewers?


                  Hmmmm?


                  Celebrity driven with agreeing puppets for guests?


                  Hmmmm?


                  I sense you’ve never seen the shows like the View, Whoopie and Co’s “duty to present valid information” — yet no example of platforms like that, as they certainly lean to the Left like yourself. No complaints?

                  And not only do Whoopie and Co. “ask questions”, they outright fabricate, lie, deceive, and spread misinformation —- then have the gall to tell you how to think. Is that like Rogan or Jones? From what you tell me, yes it is. But Whoopie and Co. lean Left. And we can’t complain about the Left, that's Racist or Bigoted, or whatever the WOKE word of the week is.

                  How would you know that unless you tune in to Rogan podcasts? It’s like people bit$#ing about Fox News or Hannity —- yet they don’t watch Fox News or Hannity. Riiiight!!!!

                    Well the View contains varying viewpoints. Griffin used to work for Trump. So that immediately goes against what Rogan does.

                    Rogan brings on people who share the same viewpoints except he does so in disguise.

                    I couldn't care less about the View and neither do most people. Rogan reaches a far bigger audience.

                    And as bad as they can be they have nothing on the kinds of people Rogan gives a voice to. It's not like Rogan or Jones. Not even close. Are they biased? Yes. Sometimes misleading? Yes.

                    I used to watch Joe. He's been going at a long time. When he signed his big dollar Spotify deal right around Covid that's when he fell off the rails. That's how I know. Besides, it's hard to miss him and I see clips all the time.

                    Joe has some properly unsavory people on. He had a guy named Sheldon Johnson on who was released from prison with the help of the innocence project. Dude chopped up a body a month later. That's obviously apolitical but it goes to show how little of a vetting process he has. He brings on a lot of Hollywood people and a lot of them just end up being yes men to him because they don't want to deal with the backlash. Joe will spit some bullsh1t theory and they just nod their heads. The Rock is an example. Patrick Bet-David is another one. Conservative grifter. I'm pretty sure he charges people $800/min to talk to him online. Wow what a character.

                    He's had countless "doctors" on. He brings them on to spread misinformation about Covid or to promote alternative medicine. These doctors are usually disgraced within their field. A lot of the Covid ones were even specialized in that area. A lot of them also had vested interests in alt medicine so they just made up (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word).

                    Define "woke". I'll help you out. You can't because it's a bull(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) word.

                    Bias is in everything but I appreciate when people are honest about it and what their beliefs are. Rogan couldn't be further from that.

                    I'm more centrist then you think but you'd know more than me.

                      Haters don't really hate you, in fact they hate themselves because you are a reflection of what they wish to be.

                        Trump said he's unhappy with Israel after they continued to bomb during the 12 hour period that was allowed in the deal.

                        What did he think was going to happen?

                          Keep Lindsay Graham in your prayers everyone. He's been running around DC with a permanent w00dy for now on the last two weeks. That can't be healthy.


                          Lindsay doesn't advocate for war on just any old day. Only the ones that end in Y.

                          Political correctness,...is the inability to speak the truth about the obvious.

                            Lindsey Graham is a despicable human being.

                            How he is still in office is beyond me.

                                This is a very interesting episode. I'd highly encourage people to put aside their reservations with Bernie and have a listen.

                                Those of you who feel the system is "broken" will likely find agreement with this.
