Rogan says the 'greatest media psy-op in history' was waged against Trump: 'They've distorted who he is'
Fox News
Podcaster Joe Rogan argued that the media engaged in "massive, concentrated psy-op" to "distort people's perceptions" of Trump once he went from celebrity to politician.
On Thursday's episode, with comedians Shane Gillis, Mark Normans, and Ari Shaffir, Rogan recalled how friendly people in entertainment and the media once were to Trump, playing clips from his 2012 appearance on "The View" where he was cheered, as well as when he went on Oprah in and she asked him about running for president.

Since then, "The View" has become a frequent source for apocalyptic takes about Trump, and Oprah shredded him while campaigning with Vice President Kamala Harris. Rogan argued that the abrupt shift in tone toward Trump has been shocking in retrospect, "What we saw is the greatest media psy-op in history."
