What sparked that was Glenn Beck asking the first sitting Muslim member of Congress, Keith Ellison: “Now, I wouldn’t say this, but some of my listeners might like to ask you: ‘Are you working for our enemies?’”.
Bear in mind that this was in a time when politicians were not openly working for Russia, so the idea of asking a sitting member of the House of Representatives if he was “working for our enemies” was galling. But it was Beck’s technique of “Oh, I’m not saying, this, rather, ‘it is being said by some unspecified people’” to weasel out of it being him saying it.
That said, I have avoided Rogan completely, so cannot speak directly to his particular brand of bullshit.
It’s not the question asked. It’s the first. Like hell have rfk on to spout nonsense about vaccines (made up example) and say he’s just looking at all views, just asking questions.
Well, if you have questions, ask a scientist that has studied it, not someone with a brain worm that directly caused children’s deaths due to misleading campaigns against vaccines on the Pacific islands.
Asking a terf on to talk about gender identity. Climate change deniers to talk about climate change. Asking trump on to talk about anything. It’s a way to muddy the waters about who is an expert while also making it unclear as to what the evidence says.
Any example of a question?
Do you just mean hard questions, like a classic journalist?
“Is it possible that Hillary Clinton actually was running a pedophile ring out of a pizza parlor basement? I mean, I’m just asking questions here.”
Ancient Aliens had more plausible propositions.
I have a little experience on Glenn Beck.

Thats pretty hilarious, the website I mean.
Hilarious and all, but did Glenn Beck rape and murder a child in 1990?
