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 agree with you. But what better way to expose them?

You need to read up on the guy
****************************
Here’s all the reading one needs to do concerning Rogan. He says he has no hard feelings towards those who want to CENSOR him! Take away his FREEDOM to freely speak. He obviously worships money and was willing to cut off his balls to keep it coming. Joe Rogan has become a eunuch.

In his video Sunday, Rogan said he’s a Neil Young fan, adding: “No hard feelings toward Neil Young and definitely no hard feelings toward Joni Mitchell

But when Spotify agreed to put misinformation labels on Rogan’s work, Rogan didn’t tell them to jump in a lake. He agreed.

Rogan is the cash cow for Spotify, not Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and certainly not Nickelback.

Rogan should have hired a good lawyer, gotten out of his contract and taken his act - and massive audience - elsewhere.

Rogsn promised he’ll try to do better to have people with varying opinions of controversial subjects on his show, he didn’t promise he’d go easy on them.

As Dr Sanjay Gupta found out recently, the Joe Rogan Experience isn’t exactly a cakewalk.

He’s a whore for money just like anyone else. It really is as simple as that. When money talks, principles walk.

Never, never, never apologize! That’s what I love about President Trump. He never apologizes.

I have zero feelings about Neil Young or the other old tart. They are too unimportant for me to have any feelings about.
I’d totally forgotten they even existed until they opened their mouths recently.
What more ya got troll?

Warning to fellow conservatives. This is a fight between two groups of atheists. There is no place for us on either side of this fight. Best to observe from the distance.

If he did cave, then his whole premise of being a truth seeker is fake.

Read it all. He is a cuck.

Did you actually listen to Rogan's entire video about this or are you taking the interpretation written by someone else as FACT?

I hope you are not that stupid.
