Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Hey fucko, you're a part of the media
The ol' Fox news switcheroo.
They brag about being the most watched news on television and also tell their viewers to not trust mainstream media.
"most watched news"
"don't trust media"
"we are for entertainment only not news and no reasonable person would think so"
Until they are in a courtroom then they're entertainment
Yeah, and it works wonderfully. Why wouldn't they roll with it?
We libs think we score some kinda "gotcha!" by pointing to the hypocrisy. It's not working for us.
They got a formula that works. We do not. Isn't it about time to abandon the high road and engage in lying, cheating and stealing? Hell, they already think we're doing it.
Not only that, with being one of the most popular podcasts ever you could even call it mainstream.
Yeah. His show is the most advertised podcast of all time. You're not getting 200 million for an indie show
Apparently, the misleading part of the media they are complaining about.
Bo Nickal (the person who said that) is an MMA fighter.
Exactly the person you'd want on your show for nuanced political discussion. Thank you once again, Joe Rogan.
The show isn't for nuanced political discussion lol
Then maybe they shouldn't keep trying to have them.
True. A few years ago I started watching old JRE videos and enjoyed them, but when I started watching the videos as they came out, I found the show sucked because Rogan wasn't just platforming people anymore, he was actively pushing his own beliefs because he'd become convinced he was an expert on everything.
Bo Nickal said the second quote referring to the media. Not Rogan.
