Rogan promoted the conspiracy theory that Epps was an “agent provocateur” for the feds, a baseless claim that has led to a defamation suit against Fox News.

      Nothing at all. What I was trying to say was that Joe questions stuff, but that is the extent of his brand of skepticism. While on the surface, it may sound like (to his followers, possibly himself) he’s being a skeptic, his inability to accept a dull truth, in favor of fanciful claims means that he’s doing a caricature of skepticism.

      It’s fake skepticism, and is a podcast/banter version of truthiness.
