Joe Rogan addressed the controversy surrounding the so-called “dangerous,” “misinformation” he has reportedly disseminated about COVID-19 and Covid vaccines.
Rogan, whose audience is 10 times larger than CNN’s best primetime show, discussed the attempt to censor and target him following his interviews with renowned doctors, Peter McCullough and Robert Malone.
First of all, to say, thank you to everyone that sent love and support, I truly truly appreciate it and it’s been very nice to hear from you,” the host of The Rogan Experience said in a video published Sunday. “I want to make this video first of all, because I think there’s a lot of people that have a distorted perception of what I do, maybe based on sound bites or based on headlines of articles that have disparaging.
“The podcast is been accused of spreading ‘dangerous,’ ‘misinformation’ specifically about two episodes, a little bit about some other ones, but specifically about two one with Dr. Peter McCullough and one with Dr. Robert Malone, Dr. Peter McCalla is a cardiologist and he is the most published physician in his field in history. Dr. Robert Malone, owns nine patents on the creation of mRNA vaccine technology and is at least partially responsible for the creation of the technology that led to mRNA vaccines. Both these people are very highly credentialed, very intelligent, very accomplished people and they have an opinion that it’s different from the mainstream narrative.”
Facts, information, even debating opinions about Covid and Covid vaccination is “labeled dangerous misinformation.” But every claim that is censored, refuted and attacked by the Covid-vaccine pushing regime has been accurate and demonstrably true, Rogan warned. “

It sounds like he isn’t backing down on exposing Pharma Fascism and the war on free speech.
Neil Young, meanwhile, is sobbing about having given up a revenue stream pointlessly.
They are OFF Spotify.
Rogan is still on Spotify with massive ratings. Up to 10 times CNN ratings.
Backing down?
Heck no!
He just DOUBLED DOWN and counter attacked.
Neil Young is getting more pathetic by the minute
Meekness is a virtue.
Properly understood, it is strength held in check, vengeance withheld.
Rogan has not yet given anything up by virtue of what he has said in the wake of the actions taken by Neil Young and Joni Mitchell. He seems to know that there is something good that will accrue to you if you make an effort to be the better man. To every thing there is a season, to be sure. Should things intensify or start going sideways with Spotify, Rogan remains free to revise and extend his remarks, as they say on Captitol Hill. He is already a wealthy man and need not concern himself too much with toeing the line. If Spotify cuts ties with him he will likely land on his feet.
Rogan made a compromise with Spotify to allow warnings of misinformation to be slapped on his show whenever they discuss Covid or the vaccines with doctors /scientists that don’t follow the narrative.
Now every show that has on Dr. Malone or Dr. McCullough or any doctor that questions the narrative will have a warning of misinformation on it, therefore everything those doctors say is labeled as such by the most popular podcast.
The only reason to partition information into "misinformation" or not is to discredit that which is labeled misinformation. Yet the entities deciding what is misinformation or not seem to be labeling anything that goes against their best interests as "misinformation."
And just where is this “compromise” you people keep shouting about at?
I don't see it in this article or anywhere else. Spotify CEO make a speech today and never mentioned it.
“...he tapped...”
Maybe.
One of the more pathetic things in society these days is how hinky people sometimes get when their thoughts and conclusions start to match up with people that others condemn as “right-wingers” or conservatives.
Sometimes, realizing that they have politically or morally parted company with their former friends or colleagues who cintinue to labor in ignorance or abject immorality, they try to stake out a separate patch of ground from the hard left and from those accused of being on the right and declare themselves to be libertarians.
He gave a ‘polite’ response, but he should have stressed the FREEDOM OF SPEECH aspect.
The DOCTOR he had on his show is just as qualified to his medical opinion as Fauxxi, and it’s not ‘misinformation’.
That’s his mistake here.
This is the real story right here. Prediction of another variant next year and those in power wanting the DHS and DOJ to do something about misinformation. https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2022/01/31/center-for-vaccine-developments-hotez-homeland-security-doj-need-to-address-anti-science-covid-disinformation/
Joe said he is perfectly fine to have warnings of misinformation on those particular shows, not putting up a fight
Read the entire article by following the link. It’s about freedom of speech among other things
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Here’s a test of your character.
As far as freedom of speech goes, do you think Joe Rogan is going to think twice before he has controversial covid guests on in the future?
Damn right he’s going to.
Joni Mitchell tapped out Joe Rogan.
Exactly. Rogen made them all look small. He took the high road, which in my experience always wins.
I also watched the interviews with doctors Robert Malone and Peter McCullough. Joe Rogan has done a great deal more in getting the truth out to many more people than his detractors here on FR.
He is still there. The people who follow him consider the warning a badge of honor. He lost nothing. People outside of FR are tired of the sniping and divide. He knows his audience.
Look, this covid crap has gotten old with a lot of people. Even some on the left. That is good. It doesn’t mean they love free speech or conservative values. There are those around here that would scream “Rogan for President”. That said, he would be much better than Biden. lol
I like Rogan as an interviewer, but you cannot give the slightest inch to the censorship freaks.
Warning disifo signs are ridiculous because people have to decide themselves what they believe and they don’t need kook leftist liars to dictate to them what is disinformation.
Dr. Peter A. McCullough
