Joe Rogan defends Kanye West’s ‘Heil Hitler,’ echoes antisemitic stereotypes in song

Why Troubling News:

Joe wasn’t defending Kanye West’s song, he was defending freedom of speech. If you listen to the full segment, Joe points out the irony: Kanye rants against Jewish people, yet likely still buys diamond-encrusted jewelry from them. In America, we have the First Amendment, and defining hate speech is complicated. Joe wasn’t promoting the song; he understands that when something is banned, public curiosity increases. By allowing Kanye to broadcast his music, people can judge for themselves just how vile and disturbing it really is.

Toxic

Why Troubling News:

The use of "toxic" is misleading and troubling; sex trafficking and RICO charges as faced by Diddy are not "toxic," they are Federal felonies that carry a potential life sentence. Chris Brown being accused of committing "grievous bodily harm" is not toxic, it is GRIEVOUS BODILY HARM. The use of toxic in the headline in the cheapens and lessens the severity of the actions of the offenders. The point of the article is to talk about and criticize the pervasive culture of misogyny and exception for male celebrities, but by calling their actions "toxic" they are adding to the culture they wish to harm, as they are minimizing the actions they want to criticize, particularly since people mostly read headlines. Further, using a less serious word opens the door more for the defenses of these celebrities, since "toxic" is much more personal and culture-war esque language which can be objected to easier than "sex trafficker" and the like.

Pfizer Scientist Says COVID Vax Results Were Deliberately Delayed To Influence Election

Why Troubling News:

The title and message of the news are highly misleading. Dr. Philip Dormitzer never said that the release of the COVID-19 vaccine was delayed to influence the election. The article's main source of proof includes a quote from Dr. Dormiter, saying, "Let’s just say it wasn’t a coincidence, the timing of the vaccine”. Extracting "COVID Vax Results Were Deliberately Delayed To Influence Election" from this quote is certainly a far stretch. The Infowars article also fails to mention a separate quote from Dormitzer, who stated, "My Pfizer colleagues and I did everything we could to get the FDA's Emergency Use Authorization at the very first possible moment. Any other interpretation of my comments about the pace of the vaccine's development would be incorrect" (https://www.reuters.com/sustainability/boards-policy-regulation/us-house-panel-seeks-information-pfizer-over-alleged-covid-vaccine-delay-2025-05-15/). Given the article's high degree of extrapolation, while also leaving out significant forms of counter evidence, this news is troubling and misleading.

‘This is Unjust’: Grandma Arrested Near Scottish Abortion Clinic Warns of Further Attacks on Free Speech

Why Troubling News:

This article publishes the opinion of a protester who claims that protests against abortion will be cracked down on outside of the range of the ban, when there is no evidence to suggest that this will be the case. This section, along with other parts and the general tone of the article, seeks to fearmonger about future directions that policy could take, preventing a nuanced discussion on the current state of policy.
