Joe Rogan lambasted “delusional” left-wing media Thursday for thrusting its bias forward at the cost of its readers’ trust — which is resulting in a “hemorrhaging” of subscribers.

“I was just reading something about CNN’s ratings and MSNBC’s ratings post-election — they’ve crashed,” the “Joe Rogan Experience” host told guests Jimmy Corsetti and Dan Richards of “Debunking the Past”

“All these left-wing kooks on YouTube are hemorrhaging subscribers. Where people go, ‘You guys are out of touch, you’re not accurate, you’re delusional,'” Rogan continued.

“And people are speaking with their subscriptions and they’re speaking with their purchasing of the Washington Post and their purchasing of the New York Times.”

The conversation kicked off when Rogan, 57, brought up Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos’ divisive October opinion piece, “The hard truth: Americans don’t trust the news media” — in which the billionaire Amazon founder declined to continue the newspaper’s legacy of endorsing a candidate for president.

The Washington Post planned to endorse Kamala Harris before Bezos stepped in, claiming political endorsements “create a perception of bias.”

The move cost the newspaper thousands of subscribers, but Rogan theorized it would have lost much more if it stuck to its progressive endorsement.

“Essentially saying that you have to take divergent viewpoints, you have to take a bunch of different perspectives, we can’t just be this left-wing echo chamber, and it’s the reason why the business is faltering,” he noted.

The New York Times is suffering from the same left-leaning affliction, Rogan argued, pointing to a recent fact-check the newspaper published earlier this week on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s claim that a popular breakfast cereal contains several artificial ingredients in the United States that are not used in other countries.

The Gray Lady claimed Kennedy was “wrong” — but admitted the ingredient lists for the US’s version of Froot Loops contain a multitude of man-made chemicals that Canada’s cereal does not.

“The fact check is so dumb because the fact check says it’s not correct, they have the same ingredients… except for these harmful chemicals,” Rogan seethed, adding that the ingredient list clearly included “f–ing dangerous chemicals that are banned in Canada that we’re trying to get rid of in America.

“So, they’re literally saying he was wrong, but he was right.”

The popular podcaster theorized the Times went after RFK, Jr so ruthlessly because of his close ties to President-elect Donald Trump and his nomination to serve as the next health secretary, as well as his vocal aversion to vaccines.

“That’s the New York f–ing Times,” he continued. “This is what the New York Times is doing, so, of course, you’re gonna hemorrhage subscribers, of course. You’re crazy, you’re saying something that’s nuts and also… What is your motivation?”

“Are you trying to eliminate — because you lost so much credibility — are you trying to kill it all? Are you secretly working for the Chinese? Like, what are you doing?” Rogan lamented.

That same day, MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” viewership recorded a new low after its co-hosts admitted that they met in person with Trump.

Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski told viewers they trekked to the Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Fla., to “restart communications” with the once and future commander in chief after years of being highly critical of him, stunning their left-leaning audience.

It resulted in their lowest-rated program since 2021 — viewership dropped 41% for the 25 to 54-year-old demographic and 16% in total viewership.
