U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said Tuesday on MSNBC that not only the government, but Big Tech companies have a role to play when it comes to censoring so-called “misinformation” and curating “accurate” information to the public.
Murthy made the comments after he was specifically asked by MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski about alleged misinformation on Joe Rogan’s highly popular “The Joe Rogan Experience” and general Facebook posts.
“What do you think are the best ways to push back on misinformation about COVID that continues to be aggressively pushed, whether it be Joe Rogan’s podcast or all over Facebook?” the host asked Murthy, according to The Blaze.
“We can have the best science available, we can have the best public health expertise available. It won’t help people if they don’t have access to accurate information,” the Biden-appointed surgeon general answered, adding, “People have the right to make their own decisions, but they also have the right to have accurate information to make that decision with.”
Big Tech companies, Murthy said, have an “important role to play” since they are the “predominant places where we’re seeing misinformation spread.”
“This not just about what the government can do,” he emphasized, “this is about companies and individuals recognizing that the only way we get past misinformation is if we are careful about what we say and use the power that we have to limit the spread of misinformation.”
Legacy media, left-wing activists, and Democrat politicians have routinely called to censor Rogan as his podcast continues to succeed with the general public.

How healthy.
🙃
Facade falls. Again.
It was a facade but now the state role is being made public.
They used to try to wear a fig leaf to deny violating the first amendment.
Just another example of tyrannical behavior from this administration.
Not an American
Junta Communist
That didn’t work out so well for Neil Young.
How fascist of him.
“Not an American. Junta Communist”
Agreed, This guy might have papers saying he’s a US citizen, but he is no American.
How fascist of this Faucist.
A southern man don't need him around anyhow.
How fascist of this Faustist Faucist!
Joe Rogan got 100 million UPFRONT from Spotify.
Sure he’d be glad to take the money and run... to another competitor with his millions of listeners.
Look for several other musicians to stand with Neil on this and make a big issue of it. They must shut up ALL dissenting voices because they can’t engage in actual debate.
And his 11 million followers.
Lynyrd Skynyrd told us about Young in 1974. He never stopped sucking.
The whole [well, nearly, the Weather Service <10 day forecasts, USGS real-time stream flow, NOAA SnoTel, Forest Service RAWS, etc. seem to be OK at least tough today...] US FED Administrative State has gone over the edge.
MAX Bogosity.
My money is on Rogan.
How fauxist of this Fascist.
This clown should be one of the first to appear at Nuremberg II.
