As Twitchy readers know, someone in the media had a moment of self-awareness. WHOA, RIGHT?!
And from the New York Times even?!
OMG, WHAT IS HAPPENING?!
Would someone pretty please check in on Hell and see if it’s frozen over because wow, we did not have ‘NYT journo figures it out’ on our Bingo card for the day.
Joe Rogan is what he is. We in the media might want to spend more time thinking about why so many people trust him instead of us.

While many people were surprised to see Rosenberg admit the quiet part out loud, Nikole Hannah-Jones took this as an opportunity to call Rogan racist.
Because that’s what she does.
Oh, and sorry, we can’t include her tweet because after she sent it, the pushback must have been brutal because she deleted it. Thanks to Sarah Haider for the snag:

Gotta love it.
She deleted the tweet (and blocked me).
— Sarah Haider 🤖👾 (@SarahTheHaider) January 31, 2022
Yeah, she blocks easy.
Race has nothing to do with it. They all wear blinders.

Open racism?? That comment makes me think she either has never listened to Rogan's podcast, comedy, anything or racism has a different definition. I'm truly confused.

How is this lady employed anywhere? Much less NYT

Don’t look at us, man, we just work here.
It’s alway racism with this twat.
— Opinionated Witch🧙 (@opinionwitchy) January 31, 2022
Indeed.
Someone should tell Nikki the REALITY behind why people listen to Joe Rogan (and not her):
We don't need to trust @joerogan. He's not telling us what to think. He's simply interviewing people, letting us decide for ourselves whose views make sense.
Totally different from media pundits preaching their propaganda at us every day from the same @dnc talking points memos.

Sorry, not sorry.
