Media Winners & Losers

MEDIA WINNER:
Piers Morgan

Piers Morgan confronted Kari Lake, the failed Republican candidate for Arizona governor, over her relentless and absurdist claims that the 2022 election was stolen from her.

Morgan went head-to-head with Lake in an episode of his TalkTV show Piers Morgan Uncensored, bluntly informing her: "It's pretty clear that you lost to Katie Hobbs."

The host refuted the idea that there was anything fraudulent about the Arizona election.

After Lake insisted there was "a mountain of hard evidence" proving her case (there isn't), Morgan aptly noted, "there does come a point when for the future of democracy, you and Donald Trump have to accept at some point you lost an election. Otherwise, the entire system collapses.”

“I don’t mean any offense to you, but I frankly don’t give a damn what you think about it. I’m fighting for the people of Arizona,” Lake exclaimed at one point.

“No offense taken whatsoever,” Morgan replied with a laugh.

Morgan did not convince Lake to give up the ruse. But he relentlessly pressed her on the unfounded claimsand held her accountable before an audience. While so many conservative pundits still pretend Trump and his acolytes have a point when they cry fraud, it's refreshing to see a Murdoch host take a stand for truth.

MEDIA LOSER:
Joe Rogan

Joe Rogan absolutely trashed Brian Stelter and accused him of colluding with "evil lizard people that are trying to control the world."

Stelter's sin? The former CNN host appeared at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland last month.

Rogan blasted the journalist for doing something many journalists do in an interview Monday with Matt Taibbi. He even impersonated Stelter by speaking in a lisp.

Taibbi cracked that Stelter looked "comfortable" leading a panel on disinformation, prompting Rogan to launch into an odd rant.

“Of course he does. He’s with evil lizard people that are trying to control the world. That’s his boss. He knows how to handle that kind of situation,” Rogan said.

Rogan called Stelter someone not "really supposed to be in front of a camera," adding, "So he’s — what he’s doing now is holding water for the evil leaders of the world who want to institute hate speech policies nationwide and, you know, centralized digital currency.”

Apparently "evil lizard" person was not enough, as Rogan went on to call Stelter "basically a prostitute."

Rogan has targeted Stelter before, but the new attack was downright nasty, with the added bonus of weaving in weird conspiracy theories that make QAnon look sensible.
