Jon Stewart Challenges Jen Psaki's Labeling of Joe Rogan and Theo Von as Right-Wing Media Figures

The comedian defended the podcasters, describing their content as largely apolitical and distinct from the conservative media ecosystem.

Jon Stewart pushed back against Jen Psaki's characterization of Joe Rogan and Theo Von as part of a right-wing media ecosystem during an episode of 'The Weekly Show.'
Psaki argued that progressive media lacks the organizational support seen in right-wing media, citing Rogan and Von as examples of figures contributing to the 'Trump enterprise.'
Stewart countered that Rogan and Von are better described as part of a 'libertarian comedic complex,' noting their content often focuses on non-political topics.
Psaki acknowledged that many episodes of Rogan and Von's shows are apolitical but maintained they play a role in amplifying right-leaning narratives.
The discussion highlighted broader concerns about the left's disorganization in media strategy compared to the right's cohesive ecosystem.
