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."

I don't care about that.
That's not what this is about.
You got better trolling to do?

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

I listen to Rogan. Not daily, but often enough. He's not Rush Limbaugh, but never claimed to be. I am not worried about the spin from some low-level, crap MSM fake news outlet like "Business Insider." We should all know by now not to rise up in their constant propaganda

Regardless, Rogan will be straight with his listeners. He'll have words for Neil Young and others soon. Don't worry.

If you are not winning you are losing.

Rogan is losing.

No you just want to believe it wasn’t because you don’t want to feel disappointment. Did you read it all?

I was going to post it was no big deal until I decided to read the whole thing before posting.

I doubt you did.You have resorted to calling me a troll. Thanks for giving me professional status though. I can see you reward good work:^)

No surprise. Anyone listening to him for a while knew he leaned left. Some of the stuff he talks about and guests are interesting hence his popularity but that’s about it. He’s a weird combo of mixed martial artist, comedian and glib talker. I don’t follow him but have watched and listened to a few of his shows.

“Artists” that object to disconcerting free speech are frauds.

Rogan has more “b*lls” than 10 of you combined.
You need to read up on the guy.

Classic non-apology apology. He isn’t sorry for doing it, he is just sorry for how they reacted to him doing it. Liberals do it all the time. Joe Rogan is a liberal, though one who seems to be waking up a little.

Rogan owes them no apology so I am glad to see he didn’t actually apologize.

At first, I thought he was doing the leftist non-apology apology, right back at them.

Then, I read this…the rest….

Rogan said he could do more research on “controversial” topics before recording episodes. “I think if there’s anything that I’ve done that I could do better, is have more experts with differing opinions right after I have the controversial ones,” he said.

Rogan said he was happy with Spotify’s decision to put content advisories on episodes that discuss COVID……

~~~~~

Research? Like the research he did when he, himself, took Ivermectin? Ivermectin that saved his life?

And, “controversial ones”?? I don’t recall FRAUDci being a guest, but, I could’ve missed that.

This guy made $100M …. Enough to take care of himself, his family, for generations, and had no reason to suck up, this way. Instead, he’s taken the low road, by making this weak sister IG vid.

I hope his fans will remember…

His first choice was Tulsi Gabbard, he became a Bernie Bro and only reluctantly voted Trump over Biden when Bernie dropped out. He is pro same-sex marriage, pro LGBTQ causes, pro legalizing of all manner of drugs, an admitted agnostic. He is a Libertarian that leans far left. He became the darling of the Right when COVID-19 came on the scene; particularly with the vaccine/mandates etc. When COVID-19 becomes a thing of the past or more likely fads to the background, will he still be popular with Conservatives? He found a money maker by appealing for the moment anyways to those on the Right. Will that last? He is no Rush Limbaugh.

Rogan could learn from Ben Shapiro about what to say about facts vs. someone’s “feelings”.

But Ben is much more thoughtful, articulate, and intellectual.

And oh by the way didn’t vote for Bernie.
