Joe Rogan Wonders Why Insider Trading Is Illegal But This Isn't – 'That Seems Weird'

In a recent episode of the Joe Rogan Experience, Joe Rogan and Estonian comedian Ari Matti Mustonen dove deep into the confusing and often frustrating world of media manipulation, politics, and corporate influence. 

"We're making this world such a goddamn mess by not paying attention to what we're doing," Rogan said, pointing out that these companies aren’t necessarily interested in telling the truth unless it benefits them financially. "Don't let corporations tell you what's true," Rogan warned. "They're not going to tell you what's true if they don't have to – if they can get away with not telling you because it makes them more money, they will."

Rogan didn't mince words as he pointed out the inconsistency he sees in regulating different types of influence. "You can manipulate the news … that's legal," he remarked before saying that certain companies advertise on the news, and the media companies will never criticize those companies. In his words, “That seems weird."

Rogan's comments reflect a broader concern about how societal rules sometimes appear inconsistent. He pointed out that insider trading is banned because it gives an unfair advantage and undermines trust in financial markets. Yet, similar scrutiny isn't applied to corporate influence over the media.

Rogan's criticism of mainstream media is seen by some as hypocritical, given that his podcast, one of the most popular in the world with billions of views, is de facto a major force in the media world itself. With millions of monthly listeners, Rogan has a lot of influence, and some even see it as a type of mainstream media, further blurring the lines between alternative and mainstream.

Additionally, Rogan has been criticized for sometimes sharing inaccurate information or inviting guests who spread unproven or false ideas. Some argue that while Rogan criticizes the mainstream media for manipulating the truth, his show has also been accused of spreading misleading information. 

This situation makes people wonder if Rogan, with his huge audience, has the same responsibility to be careful with the truth as the media outlets he criticizes. It raises the question of whether his critiques of the media should also apply to how he runs his popular podcast.
