Credulous is the word.
Under the guise of objectivity he gives all fringe opinions equal significance.

I love that though. I want to hear these wack jobs talk. I don’t listen to get smarter, just like I don’t go to McDonalds for a fine cooked meal.
Well, that's just bullshit.
We've been seeing the destructive power of the media legitimizing unsupported ideas. Fox News, Info Wars, and other outlets are what led to things like January 6th. So seeing someone like Rogan, who has a giant fan base and a popular show that gives credence to wildly inaccurate information pisses off a lot of us. I complain about it because it makes me angry, not because doing so makes me feel superior.
Don't listen to Joe Rogan because he platforms morons and so forth
Yeah if people go to a game show host/sports commentator for their political or scientific worldview that isn’t my problem.
It is your problem when they start using the views these dumbass hosts are spewing to elect fuckwits.
It is a problem for most of us who live in the US because those are the type of people who are now getting elected and bringing the country backwards.
