Master Mind Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 1 hour ago, VancouverHabitant said: Yeah but the way that CNN handled the whole issue was really eye opening. Start out by slandering someone that wasn't advocating for it but stated that they used it. Then send someone in to prove a point only to have them retract from their position and apologize. Then finally completely cut out those important parts on CNN and make a mockery of the whole situation. I'd highly recommend checking out the entire 20 minute segment, unedited. CNN is just as bad as Fox when it comes to twisting stories (as you're already aware). Unfortunately from discussions I've had with members here, many refuse to believe that, and it always gets redirected to "Fox is worse, Rogan is worse", etc. Even if that's true, I wouldn't consider CNN a credible source. Rogan took a few medications, and claims that it made him healthy within days. The biggest story here should be that one of the medications he took could be an effective treatment, with more research needed to confirm. Sounds encouraging to me. But apparently a news station sticking to just facts is expecting to much... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest story should be that the research has already been done and it has found that vaccines are extremely safe and effective.....but people like Joe Rogan like to cast doubt on those facts because it makes them money.... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I drink a sixer and recover from Covid, should I tell people that beer was helpful and we need to be researching the efficacy of beer as a treatment? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean if we're talking about the degrees of how much worst they are, yes Fox would be worst then CNN but both of them are just so bad and manipulative in the way they cover the news and also WHICH news they decide to cover. I have formed an opinion in the last 10 years that it's better to not know anything about a subject then to be misinformed. I've seen Rogan described as a caveman that took an interest in intellectual pursuits and it's actually quite accurate haha Anyways I haven't really listened to his podcast much at all since it's first month or two of existence. I did look up his episode with Elon Musk as it was a very interesting listen. Rogan has always been a little bit too simple minded for my taste and I really thought that he should've stuck more to covering MMA and paraphernalia.

This is all true and that's a good example King Heffy. Again the only reason that I brought this up was not to talk about Ivermectin but rather how CNN covered this story. We are all plugged into news and social media 24/7, or at least 16/7 if you have a full time job where you're not on your phone constantly. I think it's important to realize how everyone's view and opinion is being shaped. On the subject of money being made, it's in CNN's court as Pfizer is one of their main financial sponsors. Joe Rogan isn't being sponsored by the maker of this general drug without a patent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNN has a money incentive to promote and spin a story one way due to Pfizer being a very important financial backer for them and the issue at hand being drug related. What slant/spin/incentive would Spotify provide? They don't have a horse in the race (pun intended) when it comes to this discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn't question vaccine research. This is about having treatments available for anyone that catches covid. This includes vaccinated. It always seems to be argued as one or the other, which doesn't make much sense. If what Rogan took was helpful, that should be researched, not mocked. 12 minutes ago, King Heffy said: If I drink a sixer and recover from Covid, should I tell people that beer was helpful and we need to be researching the efficacy of beer as a treatment? Rogan says he was prescribed it from a doctor. He didn't just use a household item at random. 2 minutes ago, RUPERTKBD said: No, he is paid by Spotify, because there are a lot of listeners who tune in to have their biases confirmed by someone with a huge platform.

I could easily get some quack to prescribe weed for Covid. Should we now be doing research as to the efficacy of that?

What's that saying, "if you don't watch the news, you're uninformed. If you watch the news, you're misinformed"? Rogan shouldn't be considered a source of trustworthy news. However, a story involving him should be told by him, without any twisting by some network. Best to hear it straight from the horse's mouth.

Do you think people would tune in to hear Rogan talk about how he took the vaccine and everything is all good? The listeners are people who want to hear him stir the pot and to hell with whether he's spreading disinformation or not. Exactly as Faux news does with their false claims of election fraud and the Capitol riot being a False Flag.....both groups are telling their audience what they want to hear, rather than the truth, because that's what makes them money. BTW: I wasn't able to find any information that backs your claim of Pfizer being a major advertiser on CNN. Can you provide a source for that?

Why would I know what ivermectin is? I couldn't care less about medicine, my point is how much twisting of the words there was with CNN and the way they covered that story. I haven't even seen anything on CNN about it. Why wouldn't you know what ivermectin is? It's only been brought up in this thread and on the news for the last 6 months ad nauseam. Usually when I form opinions I make sure I have at least some knowledge about what I am arguing, but you do you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care about it's use with Covid, vaccines have been developed for a reason. Drug is prescribed and administered to humans according to FDA but CNN kept referring to it as a horse dewormer, that was the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
