Recently the unopposed debate between MSNBC and Joe Rogan, who is a well-known podcast host famous for his fearless statements, found the latter engaging in the over-discussion, are you aware of that? Like, the fast-moving conflict between Joe Rogan and some local stations was an episode that sprang from the starting point of a video that was circulated and which appeared to show Rogan’s endorsement of U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris. Yet, Rogan immediately stepped up and said he had been made a victim of the clip that represented his opinions incorrectly.
You see, Joe clearly explained how the video was cut in a way that did not show the matter of fact, he was actually mentioning and talking about Tulsi Gabbard, an independent thinker and former congressional representative, not Harris. And sure, as the news spread, different rumours surfaced that Rogan had lined up to sue MSNBC for $30 million. Rogan was the one who dealt with these stories on his podcast, and he acknowledged that he did not sue anybody but he got very offended by MSNBC’s “dishonest editing.” So, let’s see what is going on with this Joe Rogan MSNBC Lawsuit and where things stand now.
Tulsi Gabbard Weighs In on the Controversy
Tulsi Gabbard, who was a congresswoman and also appeared as a guest on Rogan’s podcast, expressed her opinion as well. Keep in mind that she used to be a Democrat, but recently she decided to support Trump in his election campaign. As for this matter, well, she called the news published by MSNBC “a total lie” and concurred with Rogan’s accusations by mentioning that he referred to her, and not Harris, as such. For sure, by now we all know that she is well known for her outspoken nature against traditional means of entertainment media which made her presence invaluable to Rogan’s rage point. Later in this case, sure, her participation intensified these two individuals’ mutual objections about how media entities at times are not just given a voice to play with the facts but sometimes even dictate the plot from which the events unfold.
The $30 Million Lawsuit Rumor, So, What’s the Truth?
The most thrilling point in the development of this issue was when it was flying around that Rogan was planning a lawsuit against MSNBC for $30 million, have you heard that recently? Well, sure, the rumour was popularized on social media, where the adherents of one view and the opponents of it have both been discussing the potential lawsuit. But Rogan was quick to stop the rumours and say that taking legal action was not part of the plan. Keep in mind that even though he wasn’t satisfied with how MSNBC manipulated the video he had captured, he pointed out that legal action was never on his agenda. This news just goes to show how fast misinformation spreads on the internet, and it was actually Harris’s side that was using such misinformation, which they claim they are against.
Could a Lawsuit Happen?
You see, Joe Rogan could have only filed a lawsuit had he asserted defamation, which is defined as the act of one’s damaging another person’s reputation by telling lies. But keep in mind that for a person like Rogan who is in the public eye, to win a defamation case against MSNBC, he must prove that the network committed the act of “actual malice” which means MSNBC either falsified the truth or it was likely not true in the first place. As it is, public figures have a high standard to meet when it comes to defamation cases, which often makes them difficult to win, you know? Not just that though, besides all this, MSNBC can also bring up the argument that it may just be standard reportage practices or a viewpoint of the show.
