MSNBC Issues Correction After Claiming Joe Rogan Was Praising Kamala Harris

MSNBC published a video on Tik Tok earlier this month in which podcaster Joe Rogan was apparently praising Kamala Harris and saying she could win the election. But it turns out the clip had been edited together out of pieces of two different conversations. Rogan did predict that Harris could win but the praise was for a completely different person, Tulsi Gabbard. MSNBC has since re-edited the clip and issued a correction admitting the error.

Correction: We have removed an earlier version of this post that incorrectly implied Joe Rogan was talking more about Vice President Kamala Harris. He was referring to Tulsi Gabbard.

Gabbard herself was the first to catch what MSNBC had done. She posted a video about it on Aug. 2. Her clip contains the original edit of the video in which Rogan seems to be praising Kamala Harris.

Here's the new, revised version that is still up on MSNBC's TikTok page now.

Joe Rogan said on his podcast that he thinks Vice President Kamala Harris will win the presidency. "They just want no Trump, no matter what, and they’re willing to gaslight themselves," Rogan said to guest Michael Malice.

Rogan talked about the misleading edit on his show Tuesday.

“But this is what MSNBC did: They took a clip of me talking about Tulsi Gabbard and they edited it up and made it look like I was saying great things about Kamala Harris.”...

“I was talking about Tulsi Gabbard being a congresswoman for eight years and about how she served overseas [as part of] two deployments in medical service dealing with people who were blown up by the war,” Rogan said, adding: “That’s not something Kamala Harris did. That’s something Tulsi Gabbard did.”

MSNBC “put it out there as a clip of me praising Kamala Harris,” he added.

Rogan and his guest, neuroscientist Andrew Huberman, talked about the media's motives for doing something like this. "They don't care about the truth," he said, referring to MSNBC. He continued, "They just want a narrative to get out there amongst enough people because most people are just surface readers. They read a headline-- and I've been guilty of that many times-- they read a headline, 'Oh, I know what that is' and then you shut your laptop."

A bit later he added, "I think we're in a very weird time with media and I think truth is super important. I think someone that's willing to do something like that, that's a real offense...It's not a small thing. It's a real lie and it's a lie that changes other people's opinions."

At the end of this clip, Huberman compares what journalists at some outlets are doing to data fraud in science. It's cherry-picking certain items to present the outcome you want.
