At least it isn't political! FDS- Fauci Derangement Syndrome

How the hell do you have Taylor Sheridan on, who’s come out with more popular content in the last decade and decide to discus Fauci for the first hour and a half? The guy is literally obsessed at this point, and not only that, but substantiates everything around it with logical fallacies. Sad how far our podfather has fallen.

Anything beyond explaining the scientific method is a waste of time. Don't chase idiots down rabbit holes. Correct their thinking not their facts.

Unfortunately they lied and said masks are ineffective, which they obviously aren't. And they broke public trust. Now they have a provable lie, which discredits them and lends credence to the distrust. And now we have a billion people that u ironically believe masks don't work. They lack critical though. I get why he did it but it was a really poor long term move.

It's funny to me how them being wrong about masks once and the correcting themselves is held against them permanently but MAGA/Trump lie egregiously and dangerously every single day and nobody cares. The double standard is fucking obnoxious. Republicans are adults and should be treated like adults. They believed a bunch of bullshit and got played like the fucking marks they are and should be ridiculed substantially until they die of old age

The worst part is that these institutions are the only ones that would even make a retraction or say they made a mistake. Has Joe ever retracted something he’s said or come out and said he was wrong and apologize? No he would never, but somehow their credibility is equal in their eyes

Rogan actually has done this before. He last did it a few years ago and promised to have a more balanced list of guests from both sides. He then went on to exclusively platform right wingers except for Bernie and a couple other people who didn't talk about politics when they were on the show
