Joe Rogan, the widely popular podcaster, has publicly criticized MSNBC for airing a deceptively edited video that portrayed him as praising Vice President Kamala Harris. Rogan, known for his unfiltered opinions and large audience, took to his platform to expose what he calls the network’s dishonest tactics, saying they "don't care about the truth."
The controversy began when MSNBC aired a segment featuring a clip from Rogan’s podcast, "The Joe Rogan Experience," where he appeared to be speaking positively about Harris. However, Rogan quickly pointed out that the clip had been manipulated, cutting out key parts of his original statement and thereby misrepresenting his actual views.

In the original discussion, Rogan had criticized Harris for her past record as a prosecutor and her handling of various criminal justice issues. He had also expressed skepticism about her role as Vice President, questioning her leadership and decision-making abilities. However, MSNBC’s version of the clip presented Rogan as if he was endorsing Harris, a portrayal that Rogan vehemently denied.
Rogan addressed the issue during a recent episode of his podcast, which boasts millions of listeners worldwide. He played the unedited version of the clip for his audience, highlighting how MSNBC selectively cut and spliced his words to fit their narrative. “This is why people don’t trust the media,” Rogan said, emphasizing that the network’s actions were a clear attempt to deceive viewers. “They just don’t care about the truth.”

Rogan’s critique of mainstream media is nothing new. He has frequently criticized outlets like CNN and MSNBC for what he perceives as biased reporting and sensationalism. This latest incident only adds fuel to his ongoing feud with these networks, reinforcing his reputation as a vocal critic of the establishment media.
The podcaster’s comments have sparked a wider discussion about media ethics and the responsibility of news organizations to accurately represent public figures. Supporters of Rogan argue that this incident is yet another example of how mainstream media outlets manipulate content to push a particular agenda. They believe that such tactics undermine the credibility of journalism and contribute to the growing distrust in media.
MSNBC, for its part, has not issued a formal response to Rogan’s accusations. The network has faced criticism in the past for its editorial choices, but this incident could lead to increased scrutiny of its practices. Media watchdogs and industry experts are likely to weigh in on the matter, especially as Rogan’s influence continues to grow.
Rogan’s criticism of Harris is consistent with his broader views on the current administration. He has often expressed disappointment with both President Joe Biden and Vice President Harris, questioning their competence and ability to lead the country effectively. His podcast, which covers a wide range of topics from politics to culture, has become a platform for voices that challenge the mainstream narrative, drawing in a diverse and dedicated audience.
