Joe Rogan Mistakenly Blasts Biden’s Mental Fitness Over Something Trump Actually Said
Joe Rogan questioned President Biden's mental fitness but in trying to prove the point he incorrectly attributed to Biden something Donald Trump said.
You're viewing a single thread.
God I hate Joe Rogan's show so much. He doesn't fact check anything. Just one easily influenced airhead with a megaphone and a huge audience.
I don't like him either but it was fact-checked on the show in this case
Did he apologize, and use it as a learning experience to not just blindly believe bullshit and be extra vigilant when you are spreading such bullshit to millions?
Nope. Instead, he acted like it wasn't a big deal that Trump said it even though it apparently was a big deal when Biden said it.
Big ups to Jamie and his google wizardry
Fact checking ideally happens before you start attributing quotes to people, forming an opinion about it, and making calls to take action.
Fact checking after the falsehood has already been stated is no longer fact checking, it's simply correcting the record.
There's the famous quote: "A lie can travel halfway across the globe before the truth can even get it's pants on.". Very relevant here. He made a big deal about Biden being unfit for office, but when the record was corrected there was no mention of Trump's fitness (not to mention it being old news in the first place). The damage was done already.
He doesn't fact check himself but his crew fact checks him almost immediately.
And he still doesn't learn and still make mistakes and should not have a platform.
MTG, Matt Gaetz, Lauren Boebert and other right wingers really don't care about being fact checked. Once their initial talking points have been spewed they move on to the other talking points because their base doesn't care about or know that the facts have been checked.
Like the clip they played of Biden, Joe and the guest believed it instantly. So I guess Joe is one of their base.
