If the Joe Rogan Experience isn't a news program, then why do Joe and his guests make so many factual claims (a number of which turn out to be incorrect).

At a certain point, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, and looks like a duck, it's fair to call it a duck. And the JRE certainly tries to present itself as factual and not a complete parody.

When people talk, statements are made.

I am having trouble imagining a conversation between two people that wouldn’t be considered a news program by your standards. I guess something completely made up like a DnD session?

If they are not making factual or accurate claims, doesn't that by definition mean its entertainment ?
