CE hates Rogan too

Now it's Joe Rogan interviews alt-right people, so he is alt-right so him liking a candidate makes them alt-right.

It's some crazy mental gymnastics that don't make any sense whatsoever.

Like are RDJ and Neil DeGrasse Tyson alt-right too now?

Not just CNN.

Lots of people seem to say "He talks to everyone that means he is alt-right!"

And it boggles my mind

CNN is alt right tho

as much as I think Rogan is a dumb fuck, he represents and speaks to a lot of Americans who are disinterested in politics. This whole fight against him by the left wing media to "cancel" Sanders over the endorsment is just gonna push more people to Trump.

Liberals are fucking stupid. They legit never learn.

This is how I feel about whoever Obama endorses. They clearly are wrong.

I wouldn't say push people to Trump but it could disinterest people from voting

I don't know. I really don't like CNN and I am a fan of Rogan, but that article isn't bad. It is just commenting on the reaction to the endorsement in a pretty neutral way.

while I agree with everything else in this post, it is not correct to call CNN "left wing"

for what it's worth, I don't think CNN is significantly better than Joe Rogan, if at all.

I'm also pretty sure that, if he had endorsed the establishment dems' favoured candidate, CNN would have spun it into a positive thing

regardless of what anyone thinks of Joe Rogan, an endorsement from him is a pretty major boon to Bernie Sanders' campaign.

---

Oh yeah. Bernie was smart in bragging about the endorsement. This will help him significantly.

People fucking LOVE Rogan.

fuck the dems. its this stupid us or them, extreme far-left mentality thats going to destroy any chance of them winning office. even being moderate gets you tagged a trump supporter. its hilarious. sorry dems. you lost me, never voting you again for a long while.

Weird to talk about "extreme far-left mentality" when in a instance of establishment center-barely left Democrats attacking someone for not being part of the status quo.

Yeah. The whole reason this is being portrayed as a bad thing is that Bernie isn't what the center/center right part of the democrat party wants.

Vote for Biden because he can bring in independent voters, we cant worry about purity tests now.

Look at how shitty Bernie is, he got an endorsement from someone who doesnt pass our purity tests!

a divisive figure who has said the N-word on his show

And people still try to say that he's not alt right?

Bernie Sanders used the N-Word before too, guess he really is alt-right.

Rogan sucks shit, but it's rich seeing this line of criticism from an outlet that currently employs Rick Santorum.

No comment section? Almost as though there might be, i dunno, Bernie support attacking CNN?

Yeah, this is the correct take.
He does happen to have an audience full of disaffected young men though, which could be a good way to grow the coalition by bringing them in for reasonable healthcare policy and maybe convincing them that trans women are women and women deserve rights while they're there.

A comedian said the n word! An MMA expert said transgender females shouldn't fight against biological females! What a bigot!

CNN got rid of comments sections in 2014

https://www.cnn.com/2014/11/21/tech/web/online-comment-sections/

At CNN, comments on most stories were disabled in August. They are selectively activated on stories that editors feel have the potential for high-quality debate -- and when writers and editors can actively participate in and moderate those conversations.

---

Someone with very regressive views who caters to the right gives his support to someone who stands for everything he hates. It is very easy to see this endorsement as a bad thing. Rogan isn't someone a person like Bernie Sanders would want endorsing him.

Oh wait CNN is the devil. Sorry.

Yeah, it does, since CNN interviewed Alex, then obviously they're "alt-right" just like Rogan since Rogan also interviewed him and allowed him to speak.

Also this:

I'm a moderate, and yet I've gotten labeled as a Trump supporter on here many times for it when I don't even like guy. They'll even criticize me as well, when Conservatives don't care that I am.

Also how slimy is the line of "with a history of..."

If you wanna call somebody a racist, fucking own it. "with a history of" is literally just "we want to call somebody a racist but do it in a passive aggressive way that is harder to criticize us for"

Why are you agreeing with something like that? This is about CNN so far left has nothing to do with any of this. Like the only way someone could think CNN is far left is if they are delusional and think the republican party is close to center.

Like seriously, the Democratic party isn't a leftist party. You have members who are on the left(this is out of necessity due to the nature of our political system and it makes more sense for leftists to join a moderate party than a far right party), but the people in charge are not.

Alt-Right Icon, Joe Rogan.

In modern partisan politics, you're not allowed to cross the aisle, and any candidate is immediately suspect when someone crosses the aisle in support.

Who gives a fuck about purity tests its about Rogan being a shitty person.

Rogan didn't endorse Alex Jones either.

Unless you are saying Rogan is as crazy as Jones.
