CNN rewrote a headline after taking heat for an analysis piece that compared podcast host Joe Rogan’s use of the “n-word” to the January 6 riot on Capitol Hill and the Rwandan genocide.
Rogan has been under fire for several weeks, first because critics accused him of promoting “COVID-19 misinformation,” and then because 12-year-old video surfaced of the “Joe Rogan Experience” host using the “n-word” on his podcast.
And while plenty of left-leaning pundits and Democratic politicians attacked Rogan over his comments, CNN took things up a notch when the outlet published an analysis piece, written by John Blake and titled: “Joe Rogan’s use of the n-word is another January 6 moment.”
