    Well put.
    The way I do it is to research the extraordinary claims and find out what experts and professionals in the field think.

    I know that Rogan isn't a 24 hour news station, but I think someone who has millions of listeners has a responsibility too if he's going to talk seriously about Covid treatments during a pandemic. He's said young healthy people (his primary audience) don't need to get vaccinated. He's pushing a drug - that the CDC and many studies have shown doesn't treat Covid - as an alternative to getting vaccinated. Those are "straight lies", does he get a free pass from you?

    Yes he does, based on the first half of your first sentence.

    Wow I totally disagree. Perpetuating false information regarding a public health crisis is not okay regardless of whether you're a news network or a podcast that reaches several million people.

    If it makes no difference what Joe Rogan says, then it makes no difference what CNN or anyone else says about what he said.

    Joe Rogan isn’t news, he doesn’t claim to be a journalistic source. CNN does. And I don’t think anyone here takes Fox News seriously, I sure as fuck don’t anyway. I do however find them do be equally shitty to CNN and MSNBC, outlets many people on here cite often and unironically. And my ‘defense of Joe Rogan’ is not that as much as it is a criticism of CNN. Your second grade deduction of my statements into “You love Joe Rogan and Fox News!” is really just stupid and lazy.

    I said media. Never said news. Joe Rogan isn’t part of the media? Before you start hurling little insults might want to figure out what you’re talking about. Speaking of second grade deductions and laziness and stupid and all.

    I think it's fitting that this is what has become of the covid thread. Pretty similar to where we are at fighting the pandemic. smfh
