Joe Rogan rumoured to join CBS after Anderson Cooper loss. I am shocked. Shocked I tell you!

Sure, why not.


Conservative podcaster Joe Rogan is rumoured to be moving to CBS News.

The broadcaster is struggling with ratings on its flagship show 60 Minutes, after veteran journalist Anderson Cooper left last year.

Whilst Rogan and Cooper at ideologically opposite, it’s hoped that the immensely popular podcaster, who hosts the Joe Rogan Experience with a reported 11 million listeners a day, will attract some much-needed viewers.

Joe Rogan steps on his dick so completely that CBS is forced to kick his idiot ass to the curb after two weeks.

That’s assuming this actually happens.

Joe Rogan seems like a guy who likes to be reigned in and told what to do and say.

Do I need the sarcasm emoji?

This should cost them a shit-ton of money to put another idiot on a media source that is quickly circling the drain.

If you haven't quit See BS as of yet, here's a good final straw for you.

“The rumors people are spreading, that I’m going to turn the show into 60 one-minute episodes, that it’s going to be like TikTok, that is not changing. The show is going to stay exactly like it is for now."

It looks like the "for now" era is officially over at CBS.

"Now let me smoke this joint before I tell you how trans people are indoctrinating your children."

Walter Cronkite is rolling over in his grave. CBS going from, "And that's the way it is" to "Pass the DMT this way brah. Things are about to get trippy."

Lies to people by placing known bullshit as questionable objectivity everyday.

Fuck him and his normalization of the worst in fake journalism.

There are a few good pundits here and there but, for the most part, an industry of corporate propagandists and shills.

They gave her a 69-million-dollar contract and pulled her prime time show after 8 episodes.

Rogan appeals to the "young Bros". The "young Bros" do not watch Network TV (except for Sports)
The oldsters will turn him off and the "young Bros" will not watch.
CBS is in the hands of fools.
