CNN claimed this year that talk show host Joe Rogan injected himself with horse dewormer after he contracted the coronavirus.
Joe RoganSanjay GuptaIt was a lie. Not a misstatement or an exaggeration, but an outright lie. Rogan did no such thing. Rather, he took the human version of ivermectin, as prescribed by his doctor.
“Don't you think a lie like that is dangerous on a news network when you know that they know they're lying?” Rogan asked his guest. “You know that they know that I took medicine.”
He asked a second time, “Do you think that's a problem that your news network lies?”
“What did they say?” asked Gupta.
Said Rogan, “They lied that I was taking horse dewormer.”
Gupta then attempted to change the subject, but Rogan wouldn’t allow it. He was determined to make the CNN host answer for his network’s reporting.
“Does it bother you that the news network you work for out and out lied, just outright lied about me taking horse dewormer?” he asked.
Gupta conceded, “They shouldn't have said that. Why did they do that? I don't know.”
“You didn't ask?” said a somewhat shocked Rogan. “You're the medical guy over there!”
“I didn't ask,” Gupta confessed. “I should have asked before coming on your podcast.”
