Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Here's a direct excerpt from the article OP linked:
I dont watch the podcast, but please: let's exhibit some media literacy while we criticize others for their supposed lack of media literacy.
Not happening here, once people get a hate boner for someone or something... they're full on blind to the nuance.
Yeah it's the "media". You have the #1 podcast in the world spreading misinformation. Unfunny fuck nugget prick Rogan.
It's only misinformation if it's consumed as a soundbite devoid of context. And since you're commenting on my comment highlighting the context, I am legitimately confused as to your issue. If near real-time fact-checking on the very same podcast episode isn't enough for you: then you may just have an issue with conversational podcasts in general. Stick to printed news.
