“Counterfeit News Network” - Fans slam CNN for accusing Donald Trump of making 32 false claims in Joe Rogan interview

Fans lambasted CNN for publishing a detailed fact-check article that accused Donald Trump of making false claims on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast. Trump, who is the Republican party candidate for the 2024 United States presidential elections, discussed a variety of topics with host Joe Rogan in the Oct. 26 episode.

CNN has been one of the harshest critics of the former President. The fact-check article alleged Trump made at least 32 false claims about sensitive topics like illegal immigration, climate change and environment, elections, and foreign policy, among others.

@joeroganhq re-shared CNN's post on X. The caption read:

"Is anyone surprised?"

X users took to the comments section of the post and criticized CNN for allegedly targeting Trump:

"Counterfeit News Network," @Kathy202424 commented.

"Hahaha. Rogan / Trump got more views in one weekend than CNN gets all year," @1_2_question commented.

"I love these fact-checks. Only about 13,000,000 illegal aliens, not the 21 million Trump claimed. As if 13,000,000 is ok somehow," @2touchglass commented.

X users continued to lambast the news agency and criticized their practices.

"It was a 3-hour off-script interview and they want to pick it apart. This is why legacy media has no credibility," @JoshuaW7518376 commented.

"But they were still forced to watch three hours of real talk. Something their candidate is incapable of," @woodhull_abe commented.

"If Trump said the sky was blue, they’d fact-check it as false," @reenimederos commented.

The Joe Rogan Experience podcast episode featuring Donald Trump has accrued upwards of 33 million views at the time of this writing. However, Rogan recently claimed that YouTube has censored the episode.

Dana White criticizes media for presenting Donald Trump in negative light

UFC CEO Dana White shares a close personal relationship with Donald Trump. The former President of the United States helped the UFC survive during its initial years and continues to be a passionate fight fan.

Meanwhile, White has been a vocal supporter of Trump's policies and has praised his vision for the nation. During a recent appearance on the Outta Pocket with RGIII podcast, White criticized mainstream media houses for giving negative publicity to Trump. He said:

"Realistically, the Democratic party controls all the media. They control all the media other than Fox! If you don't watch Fox, Donald Trump is the devil, right? He's the worst thing to ever happen to the United States. They keep talking about, 'If he gets in, you know what's going to happen?'"

Speaking about Trump's presidential tenure, he said:

"Well, he was already in. He's already been a President. It's not like we don't know what's going to happen. The country was a really good place when he was the President."
