CNN political commentator Mary Katharine Ham defended wildly popular podcast host Joe Rogan’s use of ivermectin for treating COVID after he contracted the virus and accused her own network of being “dishonest” in its coverage.
Rogan took on CNN’s chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta on his show “The Joe Rogan Experience” this week over the network’s false claims that he took “horse dewormer” instead of the version of ivermectin intended for human consumption. It was prescribed by a doctor. Rogan backed Gupta into a corner and forced him to admit that CNN talking heads should not have made that claim.
Ham responded Friday on Twitter to Dr. Rob Davidson, a frequent guest on CNN, who claimed that Rogan “pulled a ‘gotcha’” on Gupta on the issue. “Rogan is right that it’s dishonest to say he took horse dewormer when he did not,” Ham tweeted concerning the issue. She did not mention CNN directly in the tweet but it seemed clear who she was referring to. “It was irresistible to dunk on him for a lot of people, so they went with that instead of sticking to ‘hey, this anti-parasitic isn’t recommended for COVID treatment,’ which would’ve been credible.” Rogan is right that it’s dishonest to say he took horse dewormer when he did not.

And it’s not like Rogan’s doc is the only one in the country recommending Ivermectin off-label. The MOST they could have said, credibly, is that the CDC doesn’t recommend it.”
“Agreed, I’m not looking to explicate the entire Ivermectin fight in one tweet. That was shorthand for a pronouncement that would have been more suitable than ‘he’s taking horse dewormer,’ which is just straight, well, horses—. I’m […]

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
