Fake Journalists Attack Him Over the Rogan/Jones Episode

Tim goes off on so-called journalists and "comedy journalists" who wrote hit pieces about him after the Rogan/Jones podcast, mocking their lack of real reporting and reading an actual article calling out his Kenosha comments.
- Articles about Tim describe him selling subprime mortgages and having schizophrenic mothers based on a five-minute comedy set.
- Most people writing about him aren't journalists—they're stenographers and listicle writers from BuzzFeed putting together clickbait like "top 10 craziest things from the Rogan-Jones episode."
- "Comedy journalists" claim his statements about Kenosha and Kyle Rittenhouse were controversial when he was just describing what he saw on television.
- Tim says he observed looting and burning during protests and reported what he witnessed without slanting the narrative.
- Articles take his humor completely out of context, treating obvious jokes about the Rittenhouse family being "a bit off" as genuine attacks.
- A Google search for "Tim Dillon Kenosha" returns articles with outdated information, like calling his podcast "Tim Dolan's Going to Hell."
- When Tim predicted armed militias would emerge if police were defunded and abolished, writers labeled a logical observation as controversy.
- Twitter users complained Rogan's show used to be thought-provoking but now it's "crazy town"—yet those same users are clearly having thoughts about it.
- One critic called Rogan's show "the most dangerous propaganda outlet," but Tim suspects that person has a failing podcast of their own.
- Comedy attracts the mentally ill, and the difference between funny sick people and angry sick people is that funny ones can survive and make money from their obsessions.
