Joe Rogan is everywhere. Whether you’re a fan or a critic, it’s hard to ignore his massive influence in today’s media landscape. From stand-up comedian to UFC commentator to the undisputed king of podcasts, Rogan has built an empire based on unfiltered conversations, raw opinions, and a refusal to bow to the politically correct brigade.
However, Rogan’s success hasn’t come without controversy. Liberals hate him. So, they’ve accused him of spreading misinformation, giving a platform to fringe ideas, and, most recently, taken his words out of context. One media outlet actually deceptively edited a clip, making it sound like Rogan praised Kamala Harris. Far from it. But rather than shrinking under the pressure, Rogan has doubled down, continuing to speak his mind and call out what he sees as the hypocrisy of the mainstream.
Podcaster Joe Rogan slammed MSNBC on Tuesday after the leftist media outlet posted a clip of Rogan late last month that made it appear that he praised Vice President Kamala Harris when he was talking about former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard…

Unbelievable. MSNBC deceptively edited this clip to make it look like Joe Rogan is fawning over Kamala Harris.
“She is a strong woman. She is a person who served overseas twice … She's everything you want!”

Take the latest example of Rogan’s battle with the media. This week, Rogan called out MSNBC for posting a misleading clip from his podcast. The network edited a segment to make it appear that Rogan was praising Vice President Kamala Harris when, in reality, he was talking about former Democratic Rep. Tulsi Gabbard. The clip, posted on MSNBC’s TikTok account, quickly led to fake headlines suggesting Rogan was now a fan of Harris.
Rogan wasn’t having it. On his show, he laid out exactly what happened: “They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris,” he explained. The result? A flood of false reports and even rumors that Rogan was suing MSNBC. Rogan clarified that he wasn’t, but the damage was done. The narrative had already been set.
This isn’t the first time Rogan has had to push back against the media. Earlier this month, false reports swirled that he was endorsing Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president after he praised Kennedy’s approach to politics. Once again, Rogan had to set the record straight, making it clear that he’s not endorsing anyone—he just appreciates Kennedy’s civility and intelligence.
In a world where the media is increasingly seen as biased and untrustworthy, Rogan’s no-nonsense approach is a breath of fresh air. He’s not afraid to call out the double standards, and that’s exactly why so many people are tuning in. Love him or hate him, Joe Rogan isn’t going anywhere. And that’s something the media is just going to have to get used to.
