The online world was abuzz recently when Joe Rogan decided to throw some shade at the floundering leftist propaganda machine known as MSNBC. In a social media exchange that could only be described as a comedic reprieve from relentless liberal gloom, Rogan casually tossed out the suggestion that if Elon Musk, the billionaire mogul who seems to have a flair for making headlines, were to buy the struggling network, he would gladly take over the role of Rachel Maddow. One can only imagine Rogan donning a power suit and spouting the same tired rhetoric while tossing in some of his signature humor for good measure.
Musk, always one to appreciate a good bit of banter, responded with a casual “Deal.” This interaction set off a delightful firestorm on social media, particularly among conservatives who found themselves dreaming of the day MSNBC could be transformed from a notorious left-wing bastion into something that resembles actual journalism. The thought of Rogan, the king of long-form conversations, taking the helm at MSNBC sent conservative commentators into fits of laughter, pondering how such a transition could rid the airwaves of the endless stream of misinformation.
Joining the fun was none other than Donald Trump Jr., who expressed interest in getting involved and starting a bidding war. Imagine the chaos if he really threw his hat into the ring! With Musk, Rogan, and Trump Jr. in the mix, the progressive networks might soon need to update their résumés, as they scramble to find new jobs after the inevitable takeover. It’s a scenario that reads like a script for a comedy show rather than a real-life situation.
Joe Rogan, Elon Musk Hilariously Spark Exchange On X Over Failing MSNBC https://t.co/uUE5j4mntf

The backdrop to all this hilarity is MSNBC’s plummeting ratings. Reports indicate the network has tanked by 40 percent in 2023, a catastrophic decline that Comcast simply could not ignore. As a response, Comcast has chosen to focus on its remaining brands and spin off from its unwatchable cable networks, presumably preparing to steer clear of the political dumpster fire that MSNBC has become. The irony of a former comedian potentially taking over a channel that had long since abandoned comedic value for partisan rants only adds to the mirth.
Amid this hilarious back-and-forth, social media users chimed in, eagerly anticipating the day Rogan and Musk might make this absurd vision a reality. Comments poured in with excitement and glee, as users envisioned epic programming transformations on the failed network. One user proposed a weather report full of deliberate misinformation, harkening back to the legacy of the liberal media’s penchant for spinning narratives. If Rogan really did step into the role of Maddow, one could only hope for a complete overhaul of the once-beloved brand, hopefully saving it from the depths of irrelevance it has so long inhabited.
