Can you do a quick bullet point run down please? If you have the time to waste. I'm not much for listening to Cenk but your post has me somewhat curious, if not enough so to spend any time listening to that guy. I got as far as Gupta got ambushed. Fwiw, I don't think Joe came off well during that interview so not sure what Cenk is crying about.
Sure. It was the delivery more than anything that broke me. He sounded more unhinged than normal.
Some points:
*Joe Rogan has on people that lie all the time, including about Cenk. (lol WhothefookisthatGIF?)
So because Rogan didn't defend Cenk against "lies" told by Jimmy Dore, or Dave Rubin, then Rogan has no grounds to be angry when people lie about him.
*Gupta was "ambushed" and unprepared.
Gupta was too friendly with Joe because Joe is a celebrity, and he, and CNN establishment want to be friends with celebrities.
But then Ana says that she learned something new in that podcast, about a study that Rogan brought up about children getting vaccinated, and it causing heart issues in them. So because Gupta didn't have all the answers regarding a novel virus and all treatments, he was "unprepared".
So Cenk and Ana just wanted Gupta to push the vaccine and demonize any conversation on all other treatments.
*People died because they listened to Joe Rogan. Joe Rogan is doing damage to the country. It's Rogan's fans' fault that we have to wear a mask because they won't get vaccinated.
And then he brings up a strawman that dismisses what Rogan's entire beef is. Cenk says "Advil can't cure cancer", as if that is analogous to Ivermectin "curing" COVID, and what Rogan is saying about it. Cenk is saying that because Gupta didn't denounce Ivermectin, that that means he is helping to legitimize it.
The beef from Rogan is that CNN misrepresented what he was taking. And not making a distinction between something not being fully studied and tested as a treatment vs. something that can only have an effect on worms in horses.
So Cenk's argument is that Rogan is the one doing the disinformation--while ignoring the disinformation coming from CNN.
So CNN's disinfo > Rogan's disinfo.
