>In reality, the right-wing criticism of the “mainstream media” has been a form of projection and justification for legitimizing its own propaganda network. Meanwhile, the right denies their own mainstream status: the “mainstream media lies” but the #1 cable news network is a right wing network, the Joe Rogan Experience is the #1 podcast that hosts political guests but isn’t part of the “lying press,”

Joe Rogan isn't "right," he openly supports recreational drug use, gay rights, women's right to abortion, universal healthcare, has endorsed Bernie Sanders and James Talarico, etc.

He's not a leftist, but that doesn't make him "right wing."
