Election Interference: Google Buries Joe Rogan’s Trump Interview on YouTube SearchAlana Mastrangelo 29 Oct 2024
Joe Rogan’s three-hour interview with former President Donald Trump on Friday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience was buried in the search results on Google’s YouTube on Monday, after having surpassed 34 million views within less than 72 hours of being posted.
On Monday night, Breitbart News searched “Rogan Trump” in the YouTube search bar, which returned results for videos about the podcast episode and other similar political videos — but not the actual interview itself. Similar searches, including the full names of both Rogan and the former president had similar results.
In our test, Breitbart News scrolled down the YouTube page to review more than 50 videos and did not successfully find Rogan’s interview with Trump on Friday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience.
YouTube announced in a Monday evening X post that the video-streaming platform was aware that Rogan’s original interview with Trump “didn’t appear prominently,” adding that the company was working to “resolve” the issue.
“[With respect to] Joe Rogan/Pres. Trump interview and [YouTube] search results: Since airing Friday, the interview has generated over 34 million views on YouTube and counting, making it Joe Rogan’s most viewed episode of the year,” YouTube said.
