Joe Rogan apologized to Spotify and half-apologized to Neil Young and Joni Mitchell in a row over COVID-19 misinformation
Business Insider ^ | 1/31 | Isobel Asher Hamilton

Posted on 01/31/2022 6:30:03 AM PST by ProgressingAmerica

Joe Rogan has addressed recent criticism that his podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience" has helped to spread COVID-19 misinformation.

A backlash from scientists and health professionals prompted Neil Young and Joni Mitchell to request that their music be taken off Spotify, which owns the podcast.

In a video posted to Instagram Sunday, Rogan said of Young and Mitchell: "I'm very sorry that they feel that way. I most certainly don't want that."

He added: "I want to thank Spotify for being so supportive during this time and I'm very sorry that this is happening to them and that they're taking so much heat from it."

Not an apology. Just sorry that they feel that way.

Yup.

Read the whole article. This guy has no balls. Rush Limbaugh had balls.

Who says they are happy that the warning labels about misinfo is put on his show?

There will be no one to have on Joe to counter Malone because it only takes a short minute to tell a quick lie that people already have figured is a lie.

Defamation of someone else rather than actual independent fact on an issue is not a debate.

Those people do not want a debate on the disinformation. They demand that if you do not agree with them that you must be shut up and ruined.

Is it true Rogan once supported Bernie Sanders for president? If so, Rogan can’t be too bright.

Wait a minute is this a parody on how ridiculously misleading a headline can be? Saying you are sorry that somebody feels bad and a is not the same as apologizing to them. Apologizing includes an admission that they were wronged by you are some other party you are representing. Simply using the word “sorry” like he did just means one regrets the situation. Feeling sorry for a homeless person is not an admission that you wronged them.

Rogan needs to learn to never be sorry for someone else’s feelings.

Then you are their slave.

(Do you think they give a flying f^%$ about your feelings?)

Correct.
But according to the professional troll “dforest” Rogan apologized.
He reads more into English than we do.
Chuckle.

Quite frankly, in the end, he really ain’t worth fighting over. He gives the left what they want and Spotify a way out.
Self serving for all the wrong people.

FWIW, Joe Rogan owns his show, not Spotify

Spotify has an exclusive licensing deal with Rogan, but they have NO actual control over the show’s content

The “free speech” movement has morphed into a “muzzle the masses” movement.

I tell far left fools, I am sorry they are stuck on stupid all the time.
I never consider that an apology.

More fake news, he did not apologize, and he’s not backing down, he just said he’s open to interviewing people with opposing views...which is what he has ALWAYS done.
