While CNN prides itself in being a proper newsroom, it appears that Americans aren’t flocking to the outlet for their daily news. Not only has CNN taken massive hits in viewership over the last year, but their newly designed app, CNN+, failed so badly during its unveiling that it is already being canceled. Only able to keep less than 10,000 subscribers, podcaster and constant target of CNN, Joe Rogan, couldn’t help but make fun of the outlet and even host Brian Stelter. 

On the recent episode of his podcast, as can be seen in the video below, Rogan stated, “If John Stuart thinks you’re a piece of s***, I’m gonna listen, you know? But if Brian Stelter doesn’t like you, that doesn’t mean anything to me.”

Guest, Douglas Murray, added, “I … try and never be mean about people because of their appearances, but a friend of mine said to me the other day, do you know how old Brian Stelter is? And I said … 56. He said, look it up on your phone. He’s like, 34 or something. I couldn’t stop laughing for the rest of the evening. I just couldn’t stop laughing. I don’t know … everything about the guy is strange. Everything about him.”

Still harping on Stelter, Rogan pointed out, “Very strange. His pattern of communication is so strange. It’s like, do you listen to other people? They talk very differently than you. And also, Krystal Ball from ‘Breaking Points’ was making fun of him the other day. She’s like, why does he sit like this? Because you ever notice, he sits like this. One of my favorite moments was him with Bari Weiss, where Bari Weiss, ‘How has the world gone crazy?’ And she just rattles off one after another after another. Yeah. When you say silence is violence, when actual violence is violence, the world has gone crazy. The world’s gone mad. And she just rattled all these off.”

As for Rogan’s thoughts on CNN+, “They spent $300 million, they got 10,000 subscribers. Imagine the hubris of thinking that something that people don’t want for free, that you’re gonna charge money for it.”
