“Ultra-Progressive Woke Narrative”: Joe Rogan Unhappy With Media’s Woke Narrative Amidst Will Smith-Chris Rock Drama

The Will Smith-Chris Rock incident has started several conversations. The incident has also divided people on the appropriateness of the joke as well as Smith’s action of slapping Rock. Joe Rogan too has spoken about the incident. In the midst of all this, Rogan also had an issue with media outlets for spreading a ‘woke narrative’.

In a recent episode of ‘The Joe Rogan Experience’, Rogan and his guest, Yannis Pappas, spoke about the kind of journalism they had an issue with. The famous podcaster was not happy with journalists who also consider themselves activists or those who desire to shape culture.

“They’re trying to push a narrative and that you know, ultra-progressive woke narrative. They won’t stop with it.”

Reading the title of one such article, Rogan said, “It says ‘White outrage about Will Smith’s slap is rooted in anti-blackness. It’s inequality in plain sight.’ What! They just get sucked into wokeness.”

Rogan disagreed with the article in question and said that instead, it was ‘violence’.
