"Joe Rogan says he wont visit a country with a higher freedom of the press than his"

[–] EnderMB@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I don't really get the point of Joe Rogan any more.

As a comedian, he's okay? He's probably no better than over a dozen other comics, and his appeal seems to be limited to a certain demographic nowadays.

As a commentator on MMA, many in combat sports doubt his ability to commentate compared to other, more experienced analysts. Some of his takes are outright biased or bizarre, and while he'd undoubtedly kick most people's ass, he's apparently not that active in grappling any more due to injuries.

That leaves the podcast...which probably has a lifespan that won't outlast his other grifts. Once the comedy work dries up, the MAGA love-in is gone, and he stops working for UFC I don't really see what's left to prop his name up.

As far as I can tell either the National Post added Trudeau to the equation or Canada Proud, which they cite. It's sacks of rotten sphincters all the way down.

Thanks Trudeau!

[–] xc2215x@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

Might be for the best.

As an American, I’m jealous

[–] exanime@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Hey finally something we can add to the "Pro" list for Trudeau!

[–] pbjamm@beehaw.org 8 points 11 months ago

Background investigations intensify.

Why won't you try going to Canada Joe?

[–] mayo@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

You'd think this is good news but National Post basically exists to serve the Conservative party so all this tells me is that a lot of Canadians are loving the idea of identity politics.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 months ago

The National Post newsroom has the slightest hint of residual journalistic integrity. Their Opinion Pieces are straight up right wing propaganda.

Please tell me that's a direct quote because he's word saladed himself into giving the impression he hates free speech

"We didn't want that hoser here anyway, eh!"

[–] pjwestin@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Damn, Rogan's starting to look like Blofeld.

[–] razorwiregoatlick@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

I’m sure Canadians are very upset.

[–] LordJer@beehaw.org 4 points 11 months ago

Joe Rogan is what happens when people who skip leg day get a podcast.

[–] ImpressiveEssay@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

Lucky bastards...
