Joe Rogan is making sh*t up again, John:

One of our favorite GIFs – Rogan making fun of COURIER’s mission to call out right-wing lies and conspiracy theories earlier this year.

This time, his target is President Biden’s health. We’ll tell you more in a sec, but before we do, you should know that COURIER and our affiliated newsrooms in 11 battleground states are working around the clock to hold bad actors like Rogan accountable and deliver fact-based reporting to the communities that need it most.

Rogan has attacked President Biden’s age for a while now. On a recent episode of his podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan used recent social media videos to up the ante, this time proposing a series of out-there conspiracies about Biden’s mental health without a shred of evidence. Those included:

Biden is cognitively “gone,” and voters are being “gaslit” into voting for him again.
When Biden makes public appearances, he’s “drugged up” on “vitamin infusions” and performance-enhancing drugs.
A “mysterious cabal” is running the country because President Biden is too cognitively diminished to do it himself.

Here’s the thing, John – Rogan’s claims may be BS, but his influence isn’t.

He’s one of the most powerful influencers in the media right now. His podcast is still #1 on Spotify, and millions of voters hear and believe his conspiracies.

When Rogan dangerously speculates, without a shred of evidence, that a shadowy cabal is secretly running our country or that our President isn’t fit to do his duties, he’s hurting our democracy.

At COURIER, our 11 battleground state newsrooms are fighting back with the truth. We work around the clock countering Rogan’s blatant falsehood and conspiracies by publishing factual news stories about the politics and issues that matter most to the communities we serve. We don’t traffic in lies and baseless speculation – we report out the truth and bring that truth to the social media feeds and email inboxes where voters are most likely to encounter misinformation.

The best part is that our innovative model is proven to increase voter participation. We can counter right-wing conspiracies and lies, but we can’t do it alone. Because we offer our news for free, we rely on donations from supporters like you to keep our newsrooms running. So, can we count on you to pitch in $20 now to help us out?
