During a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Rogan talked about the fact that liberal media outlets are in freefall.
He offered one very specific example of a story in the New York Times about RFK Jr. in which the Times was trying to ‘fact check’ Kennedy about chemicals in Froot Loops cereal, then ended up proving that RFK was right but still claimed he was wrong.
Rogan said that these outlets are essentially digging their own graves while criticizing independent journalists for not doing the same.
FOX News reports:
“I was just reading something about CNN’s ratings and MSNBC’s ratings post-election – they’ve crashed,” Rogan said on Wednesday’s episode. “All these left-wing kooks on YouTube are hemorrhaging subscribers. Where people go, ‘You guys are out of touch, you’re not accurate, you’re delusional.’ And people are speaking with their subscriptions and they’re speaking with their purchasing of the Washington Post and their purchasing of the New York Times.”
He then recalled how the New York Times published a baffling fact-check this week of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claim that a popular breakfast cereal contains several artificial ingredients in the United States that are not used in other countries.
“The New York Times just debunked – in the most insane way – debunked RFK Jr’s assertion that the ingredients in Froot Loops are different in Canada than they are in the United States. They fact-checked it, while saying he was accurate, so their fact-check – it’s so dumb when you see the fact – I tweeted it.”
He then read the fact-check, adding his own commentary at the end that these are “f—ing dangerous chemicals that are banned in Canada that we’re trying to get rid of in America. So, they’re literally saying he was wrong, but he was right.”
The video below is cued to start at the right moment, so just press play:
The left wing press has painted themselves into a corner. They catered to a hard left audience and that’s all they have now. If they suddenly change, they’ll lose that audience share too. It’s a death spiral.
