While you were out living productive lives, the Joe Rogan/Spotify controversy got stupider. We left off with Neil Young demanding his music be removed from the platform and most normies saying "Meh." Since then, Joni Mitchell also demanded her music be removed if Joe Rogan is allowed to have an opinion, Mitchell is best known for songs like "River" and "Both Sides Now." Nils Lofgren also ask for his music to be removed. He's best known as that guy who sometimes plays guitar for Bruce Springsteen.
Rogan addressed the controversy on Sunday. If you only know about his podcast from CNN headlines, you may think he recklessly tells people to not get your shots just for the shits and giggles of doing so. The truth of the matter is, Rogan has conversations with people that have differing opinions. And both the far left and the media (but I repeat myself) hate it when that happens.
The biggest controversy surrounds conversations with Dr. Peter McCullough and Dr. Robert Malone. Two people who have a different opinion than the CDC and Joe Biden about pandemic things.
"Both these people are very highly credentialed, very intelligent, very accomplished, people. And they have an opinion that's different from the mainstream narrative. I wanted to hear what their opinion is. [...] And because of that, those episodes in particular were labeled as being dangerous-- they had dangerous misinformation in them. The problem I have with the term 'misinformation', especially today, is that many of the things we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now excepted as fact."
Then Rogan had to explain what a podcast is:
"I'm not a doctor. I'm not a scientist. I'm just a person who sits down with people and has conversations with them. Do I get things wrong? Absolutely. [...] But I try to correct them. [...] I'm interested in having interesting conversations with people that have differing opinions. I'm not interested in only talking to people that have one perspective."
Rogan agrees with Spotify's decision to label podcasts with a "content advisory" any time COVID-19 is discussed. It's basically what Facebook does. The goal is to appease the haters and other losers on the left and in the media (again, I repeat myself). But it won't because Rogan will still have a platform, and that's what these people hate.
Joe Rogan spreading "dangerous medical misinformation" is just the excuse. Today it's COVID-19 because it's an easy target. Tomorrow it will be Rogan saying that biological men are built differently than biological women. Or when Rogan criticizes the "fat acceptance" movement because he makes people feel bad about themselves.
Rogan is always going to allow a diverse collection of opinions on his show. The people who want Rogan canceled hate diversity. A warning label isn't going to change that.
