Sure seems like a lot of people take him and his show very seriously.

That’s why it’s the height of chickenshit deflection for Rogan and his superfans to pivot to the argument that his detractors are merely humorless scolds or bots in thrall of the “corporate media,” who are simply too brainwashed to understand that his “everyman” idiocy is his true genius…

Jon Stewart was once derided (mostly) by conservatives annoyed by his “clown nose on/clown nose off” style of slithering out of accountability.

So long as Stewart was eviscerating worthy targets like Tucker Carlson, he was praised as arguably “The Most Trusted Man in Media.” But when he was called out for deceptively editing interviews with conservatives, giving pattycake interviews to liberals, and credulously platforming anti-vaxxers like RFK Jr., Stewart and his defenders would retreat to “clown nose on”—arguing that you were the silly one for taking a Comedy Central show hosted by a standup comic so seriously.
