Joe Rogan mocked writers at The New York Times during a recent broadcast of his podcast.
The episode featured guest and fellow comedian Kurt Metzger.
"New York Times has just started doing this new thing on Instagram where they take the actual writers, and they have the writers talk about the issues," Rogan said. "They don't understand what they're doing."
"This is exactly who we thought was writing these things," the comedian quipped. "There's like this very effeminate guy, and this woman that it's like the kind of woman that she would f---ing do at a party, like, talk down to you."
Rogan specified writers for The New York Times were "ultra-liberal" and "out of touch" and referenced a recent Instagram video from the outlet featuring a writer discussing former President Donald Trump's infamous "bloodbath" comment.
"One of the guys was talking about Donald Trump’s words being taken out of context that it would be a ‘bloodbath’ because he was talking about the auto industry and the economy,” Rogan said. "And then this guy starts bringing up other episodes of violent rhetoric. It's hilarious."
The two watched the video referenced by Rogan, to which Metzger laughed, adding, "It's all falling apart."
"This is these hard-nosed reporters with a cup of coffee that are like f---ing chasing down leads, and they're pulling their hair out," Rogan continued. "They're meeting people in back alleyways. This is Woodward and Bernstein. This is Watergate."
Metzger questioned if people still believed in the legitimacy of corporate press reporters.
"They're essentially ultra hard-left activists that are masquerading as journalists, and everything has their opinion on it," Rogan added.
The New York Times' Instagram video referenced by Rogan, featured the outlet's Michael Gold, discussed Trump's "bloodbath" remark along with other instances of bombastic language invoked by the former president.
"Trump has a history of using violent rhetoric, dating back to his 2016 campaign," Gold said as a clip from Trump's event was played. "That language took on a new significance after the January 6th attack on the Capitol in 2021."
Gold went on to discuss Trump's talk of "violence and retribution" on the campaign trail during his third presidential run.
