Joe Rogan promises Spotify he’ll be a good boy
American Thinker ^ | 31 Jan, 2022 | Andrea Widburg

Joe Rogan, with his staggeringly huge audience, is probably a goldmine for Spotify. Neil Young’s challenge to him was always stupid. But when Spotify agreed to put misinformation labels on Rogan’s work, Rogan didn’t tell them to jump in a lake. He agreed.

SNIP

I was impressed when Rogan had Dr. Robert Malone and Peter McCullough on his show, both of whom have called out the government’s and media’s vaccine narrative—and rightly so: Leftists claimed that COVID couldn’t possibly have been a manmade virus from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Not only was that misinformation, we now know Fauci and the feds lied about it from the start.

-Leftists claimed that the lockdown would slow the spread. That was misinformation.

-Leftists insisted on a six-foot distance rule. That was misinformation.

-Leftists claimed cloth masks provided protection from COVID. That was misinformation.

-Leftists insist that children must be masked. This is a continuing lie that is destroying children.

-Leftists claimed the vaccine would protect people from catching or spreading COVID. That was misinformation.

-Leftists claim more shots make people safer. Israel’s experience shows that this is completely wrong.

-Leftists insisted that Ivermectin was deadly and wouldn’t stop COVID. That was misinformation. This stance probably has killed several hundred thousand Americans.

-Leftists insisted that a Hydroxychloroquine cocktail (with zinc and an antibiotic among other things) wouldn’t stop COVID. That was misinformation and that’s been known for 18 months now.

-Leftists insist that children must be vaccinated. That is misinformation and exposes children to a dangerous risk.

I could go on but I think you get the point: If there’s misinformation out there, it’s on the left, from Fauci on down. This means that Malone and McCullough were sharing information, not misinformation.

But, will Rogan be able to operate in a truth free zone?

Ok.
Now, will the Fake News outlets be put to the same stringent regulations?
No need to answer.

Disclaimer....I’ve never listened to Spotify or Rogan.....but was rethinking that when Rogan was caught in the middle!....I appreciated that he had Malone, et al on and gave them a platform to speak

He was winning too!......Who cared how many burned out hippies deserted the air waves.
Harry and Meghan threw their 2 cents in as well......( why would anyone care about their opinion)

YAY for our side, Rogan rocked!

Soooo.......it always hurts when someone on our side acquiesces to the bullies!!!!
I don’t know the particulars of this......only that I’m sick and tired of seeing bullying tactics win.

Rogan is not on our side. He is and always has been a Bernie bro.

What is "our side"?

How many of us voted for McCain? Willard? Dubya?

Since the 2020 primaries, Rogan has been pretty solid, even offering to moderate a primary between Trump and Bidet. He's pro-2nd Amendment, and moved from CA to TX. Finally, unlike Hannity et al he let's his guests talk at length on his shows. Oh, and he's still married to his first wife. If his biggest sin is supporting Bernie pre-May 2020 and smoking pot, that's nothing.

Rogan is to people under 40 what Limbaugh was to people over 60. His libertarian leftish views resonate with that generation (and older folks as well) and, frankly, he's done more to redpill people than almost everyone on FR combined.

Nobody is perfect. I'd welcome him and his imperfections to my barbecue any day. He's more on the side of liberty and freedom than almost anyone in the public eye drawing a $100MM paycheck.

I signed up for Spotify last night to show support for Rogan in the wake of the burnt out hippies leaving Spotify. I added his podcast to my play list, but never had any intention of listening to him. I don't have time for podcasts and Rogan is not a conservative. But I wanted to support free speech. Looks like Rogan is going to kow tow. What was the point of Spotify signing him if he is going to be emasculated by them? Why would anyone listen to a watered down version of Rogan?

So disappointed Rogan caved. He was making the leftists crack, and now? They won. This sucks hard.

If after all of this red-pilling and waking up that you think Rogan and his fans are going through, after all that, he still encourages his listeners to vote for the likes of a Bernie Sanders socialist, then he’s just a phony and a subversive leftist plant.

In hindsight, now it all seems pre-planned. Ya gotta give it to leftists. They plan ever so carefully to make it all seem so legit and real.

All of it now seems staged.

And we fell for it.

He’s not on our side, but he’s a solid interviewer that lets people finish speaking without interruption. He is an interesting guy, but many here wouldn’t like him.
The biggest issue is free speech and cancel culture.

Personally I hope almost all here on FR voted for McCain, Williard and Dubya in the general election. Look what we got when the first two lost and what disaster we would have had if Gore and / or Kerry had won !! Sometimes (most of the time) we have to take the lesser of the problematic candidates.

When Spotify dropped Bannon’s War Room, I dropped Spotify.

Then, he is simply a jerk, and a newly-minted coward.

Joe Rogan is worth enough money and has a big enough following to start his own social media platform.

When will we have content warnings added to CNN or the rest of the MSM that they accept paid advertising from Pfizer?
