Seth Rogen Isn’t An Imprisoned Terrorist In Cahoots With Miley Cyrus — Whatever The Internet Says

Seth Rogen isn’t a terrorist who has long planned a presidential assassination along with Miley Cyrus and James Franco. If he was working with Miley Cyrus we would know — his movies would have more women in them! (I’m going for a tone of light humor that nevertheless seethes with feminist rage here. How’m I doing?) Nevertheless, today an extreme right-wing website accused “Rogan,” Cyrus, and Franco of conspiring to murder the president in a large scale terrorist attack. “Liberalism is, in fact, a mental disorder,” the writer of the article reflects sadly.

Rogen took to Twitter today to soothe his fans who may have been riled by this story. Rogen, who may be this generation’s Mandela (I kid,) reassures fans that his captors allow him phone-access in his cell. “Haha,” he adds, and we heartily second the sentiment.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s award-winning journalism this Passover.

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.

At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.

Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we still need 300 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.

Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
