    Joe Rogan slammed legacy media for its "sh***y format" and said "it's way less popular" than it's ever been in history, naming CNN and evening news.

    During Spotify's "The Joe Rogan Experience" podcast on Saturday, the podcast host was speaking with comedian Louis C.K. about the media's coverage of gruesome stories like the school shooting at Sandy Hook and 9-11, as the two agreed the media has always done this, calling it "obscene."

    "It's messed up. It's obscene and it's normal. And that's what they operate under. That's their currency," Rogan replied, noting that with the media "there's a diffusion of responsibility when you work for a large corporation."

    "It's a job that has to get done," he added, noting the media's response.

    C.K. recalled being in the Fox News studio once, sitting in the control room when President Barack Obama was "making a speech" and he claimed no one was listening to the speech on any of the cameras in the room, yet commented on it afterward.

    He said it happens at MSNBC and CNN too, "they're not thinking about anything. They already know their reaction and they gotta come in with it really quick" because it's got to get in people's phones before another news outlet. "It's entertainment."

    Rogan agreed and said it's "entertainment disguised as news for minimally engaged, casual viewers."

    "Because it's not really people that are completely locked in for the most part," the host explained. "Most people are just flipping through the channels and you know something outrageous ... [hearing a reporter criticizing someone as bad for America.] But if you don't say that they aren't going to pay attention."

    "Then they [corporate media] is going to lose out on that Pfizer dollars that's going to come through in the ad break," he added. Because of the format, it's just a trick to get you to watch a commercial for Colgate.

    Rogan told his guest that corporate media "is way less popular than it's ever been in human history. Like in the history of news, the evening news, CNN, those things, are less popular than they have ever been."

    "And it's because people are tired of it," the podcast host shared. "It's a sh***y format and in comparison to long-form discussions, independent interview shows ... podcasts where people have nuanced perspectives. If you really want to understand what's going on in the world, complicated issues, invasion of Ukraine by Russia, you need people to break it down to you. They aren't going to get it in five minutes."

    "You are going to get 'they hate us for our freedom," he added. "That's what you are going to get in five minutes. You are going to get nonsense talking points."

Since only about 20% of the News Media has any shred of Journalistic Integrity remaining: How does our Constitutional Republic continue without a "Free Press"?

  Demand real information, using real sources, backed up by facts.

  Promote real journalist entities only, and admonish those that prostitute their profession.

  We Democratic Socialists are doing just fine, thank-you, by promoting lies while having very little real knowledge about so much.

Considering how abjectly corrupt and civilly abusive the Left has become regarding the corrosive effect of their elected leaders; their entrenched and ruling bureaucracy; employing their failed Education Industry as Indoctrinators; their collusive private sector operators, such as the terminally discredited Legacy Media and Big Tech censorship of Free Speech: What will be the best course forward for hardworking Middle Americans, including the Patriot Class?

  Withdraw from society, go underground and plan for a resurgence when it is feasible to do so.

  Work within the confines of better policy by the People's government, once good sense and sanity is restored in the electorate at large, to achieve such.

  Are you a crazy, nut-job Insurrectionist? Everything is perfect within our plan to achieve our intended goals for the Socialist Left.

  Secession to form a true Constitutional Republic.
