Joe Rogan gives two-word reaction as ABC boss Kim Williams accuses his "deeply repulsive" content of fearmongering

Kim Williams, chair of Australia’s ABC, took a strong stance against Joe Rogan, accusing him of spreading fear and exploiting public anxieties. Speaking at the National Press Club in Canberra, Williams described Rogan’s content as “deeply repulsive,” saying that it fuels conspiracy theories and manipulates vulnerable audiences.

He said:

"People like Mr. Rogan prey on people's vulnerabilities. They prey on fear. They prey on anxiety... I personally find it deeply repulsive, and to think that someone has such remarkable power in the United States is something that I look at in disbelief... I'm also absolutely in dismay that this can be a source of public entertainment when it's really treating the public as plunder for purposes that are really quite malevolent."

Williams referred to Rogan’s content as “plundering” the public for “malevolent purposes.”

Rogan, known for his massive following on platforms like YouTube and Spotify, responded to the criticism with a brief two-word post on X:

"LOL WUT"

Donald Trump Jr. claims Joe Rogan might find a place in the White House press room

Joe Rogan might soon play a significant role in reshaping White House press conferences, according to Donald Trump Jr. The President-elect's son shared that his father, alongside Elon Musk, discussed replacing traditional media outlets with independent voices like Rogan in the White House Briefing Room.

In a conversation with Michael Knowles of The Daily Wire, Trump Jr. criticized mainstream media's alleged partisanship and floated the idea of welcoming podcasters and independent journalists to official briefings. He remarked:

"I’d love to see Rogan in the White House press briefing or even rotate guys out... We had a conversation about opening up the press room to a lot of these independent journalists. If the New York Times has lied, they’ve been averse to everything; they’re functioning as the marketing arm of the Democrat Party, [so] why not open it up to people who have larger viewerships, stronger followings?” [H/t: Daily Wire]
