When the New York Times finally came clean this week and admitted that Hunter Biden’s ‘Laptop From Hell’ is legitimate, it set off backlash across the country regarding trust in the media. Joe Rogan and his podcast guest, former CIA operative Mike Baker, dove right into the issue, and Joe called out the media on their lies.

Here’s what they said:

Mike Baker: “Everything is short-term here in the US. And that’s, and that’s also including with our politicians, right. And they want a simple story. So everything’s coalesced around this simple narrative about, you know, and we have to be, I don’t know, we have to be very careful about certain things. So the emotions are running high. We hear Russian morale, you know, troop morale is bad.”

Joe Rogan: “We’re hearing that from our media, we know that our media is not exactly accurate, they don’t just love a good story. They love a narrative, and they’re willing to ignore facts. That’s what scares me. What scares me is I mean, I think there are objective journalists that work for The Washington Post and New York Times, and there’s real solid journalists out there. But I don’t necessarily know if you’re getting all the information, I think. I think it’s safe to say some fuckery is afoot. I mean, the New York Times just now is admitting that the Hunter Biden laptop is real. And, you know, we remember from the debates with Trump bringing it up to Biden, and Biden saying it’s bullshit and it’s a lie. It’s a flat-out lie. Everybody knew it was a lie. The New York Post had that story that was banned from Twitter, which was just outright crazy.”

Imagine for a moment the accurate and explosive story from the New York Post about the laptop was taken seriously from the beginning… Do you think our country would be in the state it is now? Do you think the war in Ukraine would have even occurred? People say elections have consequences, but it seems censorship has even more.

Here’s what people are saying, taken from comments:

“It’s time the truth comes out. But they will still lie and blame someone else.”

“Joe keep exposing the Marxist corruption. Marxist media, can’t you see this Joe and leave and don’t support the Marxist (Demonazi’s) party”

“Media ignored this period! They should all be fired”

“Hunter is a scum bag and this election was stolen via censorship!”

“Joe Biden is completely comprised and corrupt, but they hated mean tweets… so here we are”
