I was listening to Talk Radio today and many in the industry are encouraging Joe Rogan to sue CNN. What they're doing is basically misrepresenting what CNN actually said, which is ironic since they're pretending to advocates for accurate reporting. But by misrepresenting what was actually said, it makes it easier for them to beat up a straw man.
Out of curiosity, I googled other news reports from September 1, 2021 that covered this story and virtually all of them said the same exact thing. But only CNN is being raked over the coals and threatened with legal action, which says plenty about how much hatred there is towards them.

HORSE DEWORMER IVERMECTIN FOR TREATMENT

a deworming veterinary drug that is formulated for use in cows and horses. While a version of the drug is sometimes prescribed to people for head lice or skin conditions, the formula for animal use is much more concentrated."

"His treatments included monoclonal antibodies and ivermectin, Rogan said. Ivermectin, which is not an anti-viral drug, is
generally used to treat or prevent parasites in animals such as horses."

"In Wednesday's video, Rogan said he took several medications after his diagnosis, including the anti-parasitic drug ivermectin, the use of which has become popular among fringe and anti-vaccine communities, and which US health officials have strongly advised against."
