Joe Rogan Disses on News Nation

Popular podcaster Joe Rogan is not exactly a fan of Nexstar’s News Nation.

On his podcast, Rogan was interviewing digital entrepreneur, venture capitalist and investor Marc Andreesen on the topic of AI last week when he veered into an aside: "Can I ask you [something] slightly off-topic? What is NewsNation?"

"What is NewsNation? I don't know what NewsNation is," Andreesen replied.

"Is NewsNation a real channel?" Rogan continued. Rogan still isn't convinced that it's not a government psy-op.

"I was watching NewsNation today, and I may or may not have been high," he said. "And I was like, 'This has all the feeling of like, fake news that someone put together. Like, it felt like, if I was the government, and I was gonna make a news show without Hollywood people, without actual real sound people or engineers, this is how I'd make it - like this. I'd make it real funky, I'd make the lights all fucked up, and I'd make everybody weirdly un-charismatic."

Not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Speaking of Joe Rogan…

Word is that Donald Trump really wants to be on Rogan’s podcast as he thinks the large audience of mainly conservatives would be a big boost.

But Rogan isn’t interested.

“I’m not a Trump supporter in any way, shape or form,” Rogan said. “I’ve had the opportunity to have him on my show more than once. I’ve said no every time. I don’t want to help him. I’m not interested in helping him.”
