A lot of the noise surrounding Joe is because the news model of paying prime time guys 10-20 million a year to brainwash people into wars and division is failing. Trump is out of office and ratings nosedived at most of the networks. Why else do sex scandals and convenient scandals seem to get people fired or suspended at an increasing pace? Matt Lauer, Megan Kelly, Whoopie Goldberg, Cuomo, O'Reilly etc. These companies are severing ties with a lot of these people.

Joe is a target because he's made of moneybags and he broadcasts people with alternative opinions (ahem, anti-war among other things). That's it in a nutshell. Misinformation is secondary. CNN / FOX / MSNBC made their names on that. They're just jealous that they're being tuned out. There's nothing pure about big media trying to take down the 5 foot manlet.

Well, this is a better theory than "bald midget bad", anyways.

I love the spin this take has that characterises the only possible explanations for Joe Rogan's bad press is a) there is a conspiracy to take down brave ideas, or 2) NPC's don't even know what they're mad about

Really makes it easy to club seals when you pick imaginary seals
