Joe Rogan reacts to Stephen Colbert's 'CNN reports the news as it is' comment sparking a wild crowd reaction

On episode #2188 of The Joe Rogan Experience, the eponymous podcaster poked fun at a recent moment from a Kaitlan Collins interview on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.' For context, Collins is a news anchor on CNN, which some have scrutinized for biased journalism.

While talking about the American political landscape ahead of the 2024 presidential elections, Colbert referred to CNN as an entity that covers the news objectively.

​

"I know you guys are objective over there [at CNN], that you just report the news as it is."

Unfortunately for Colbert, his remark drew a chorus of laughter from detractors, who seemed to regard his statement as a joke. The moment also attracted Rogan's attention, who played a clip of it for JRE guest and fellow comedian Adam Ray.

​

"Bro, bro, bro. How crazy is that? The audience is like, 'Shut the f*** up.' That is hilarious. They thought he [Stephen Colbert] was being a joker. They thought that was a joke. That's how crazy this world has gotten, where f***ing CNN being unbiased is a joke to people in the audience."

Check out the CNN moment and Joe Rogan's reaction to it (17:24 and 17:35):

This isn't the first time that Rogan has either mocked or criticized CNN. Last year, he criticized CNN for its alleged falsified coverage of the anti-police protests in Atlanta, Georgia.
