Joe Rogan Trashed For Sharing News About Steven Seagal Joining Russian Forces

Be careful out there, plenty of misinformation from men with huge platforms.

Joe Rogan is being trashed online after posting a spoof CNN report that claimed Steven Seagal was assisting the Russians in their ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

The screenshot, which the host of “The Joe Rogan Experience” shared Monday to Facebook and Instagram on Monday, shows the old action movie star holding a machine gun while rocking sunglasses and combat fatigues.

The description read, “Intelligence agencies around the world have spotted American actor Steven Seagal among Russian special forces positioned around the outskirts of Gostomel airfield near Kyiv captured by Russian airborne troops.”

The MMA announcer captioned the post, “If I had to guess the plot of this f–ked up movie we’re living through I would say we are about 14 hours from the arrival of the aliens.”

In just a few hours, the post has amassed over 400,000 likes and 11,000 comments.

Twitter reacted:

It’s unreal to me that people actually get their “news” from this guy

Steven Seagal is not fighting for Russia currently. That image going around is from a movie he did in 2016 called Cartels. Use ya heads people. Especially you, Joe Rogan.

All he had to do is Google "cnn Steven Seagal" to see that that news piece does not exist. pic.twitter.com/LKXUjYiRar

Joe Rogan's sharing fake information about Steven Seagal joining Russian special forces demonstrates his biggest problems—zero critical thinking skills and no understanding of when his jokes are appropriate.

Instagram has yet to flag the post.

Rogan was recently brought under fire for spreading Covid-19 misinformation on his Spotify-hosted podcast The Joe Rogan Experience, which boasts an audience of 11 million listeners.

This Steven Seagal nonsense is right no brand for Rogan.
