Podcaster Joe Rogan slammed CNN as a propagandist network following a week-long debacle that culminated with the firing of Chris Cuomo.

“The way I look at CNN now is so different from the way I looked at CNN 15-20 years ago,” Rogan said on podcast #1744. “I used to look at them as like, this is how I get the news. This is unbiased, professional news.”

CNN suspended Cuomo indefinitely last week for his involvement in his older brother’s sexual misconduct scandal. Andrew resigned as New York Gov. in August following a barrage of complaints against him.

“I don’t want your ideological slant,” Rogan said. “I don’t want this left-wing propaganda network, which is what CNN has become.”

On Monday, Cuomo announced that he was leaving his SiriusXM show.

“I think CNN is realizing that their ratings are dog shit,” Rogan said. “I think there’s a market for real news. And it’s really hard to find that now. It’s really hard, especially outside of independent sources.”

Cuomo is facing allegations that he sexually harassed a former producer at CNN.

Over the past few weeks, Joe Rogan has made headlines regarding episodes discussing the Covid-19 pandemic.

As a result, musician Neil Young wrote a letter to Rolling Stone wanting his music off Spotify, which carries “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.

Young instructed his manager, Frank Gironda, and the chief operating officer of his record label, Warner Bros. Tom Corson, immediately pull his music off the streaming service.

“I am doing this because Spotify is spreading fake information about vaccines – potentially causing death to those who believe the disinformation being spread by them,” Young wrote. “Please act on this immediately today and keep me informed of the time schedule.”

“I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform. They can have [Joe] Rogan or Young. Not both.”

Recently, YouTube took down a video where Rogan talked with Dr. Robert Malone; also, those in the scientific community signed a petition to have Spotify put a misinformation label on Rogan’s podcast.

Spotify hasn’t replied to Young’s letter. Rogan has not yet commented either.
