The Joe Rogan Experience Podcasts

Cool, has he conducted any peer reviewed research to backup his claims? Can he point to any research that backs it up? Arguing from authority while not actually having any evidence to backup his claim amounts to him being a dangerous loon with an agenda. It's like the tendency of people citing Nobel prize winners who express outlandish views, that doesn't add credibility to the views.

I think the answer will be a firm No. This campaign is not going away. Covid was just an excuse. There will be more concocted scandals. I think guilt by association will be the next one.

Joe Rogan, and what he represents, i.e. long form broadcasting without a corporation running the agenda, is a big threat to the old school corporate media. He is way more popular than the likes of CNN. They are literally dying and are lashing out desperately at anything bigger in a desperate attempt to stay alive.

I there are a lot of double standards that annoy people. Russell Brand played a clip of Rachel Maddow on MSNBC channel spouting off complete nonsense about the vaccines and there wasn't a peep out of anybody about it. The conservative types are so used to fake news that they didn't pick her up on it. But nobody is calling for Rachel Maddow to be fired or calling on MSNBC to be punished. And they are a TV channel.

If Spotify is a publisher does that also make Youtube or Twitter publishers also?

Malone is making medical claims about a vaccine, you seem to think we should lend credence to him due to his involvement in mRNA vaccines two decades ago. Not based on research or anything. Just literally by virtue of who he is. The fact he can't prove his claims is a pretty big sign of why he should not be platformed.

Ah here..

It's not like young just removed his music..

He issued an actual ultimatum to spotify..

No, I'm saying that's pretty much the essence of cancel culture..

And that it's just sad to see what people who would have surely previously considered themselves quite liberal have become..

I happened to watch that Russell brand video for my sins. To think I used to adore Brand's comedy. He's lost his mind. His arguments are either delusional or willfully disingenuous. That particular clip from Rachel maddow is a year old. What she said was supported by a handful of studies at the time. Even the CRO of Pfizer gleefully shared that study at the time. Certainly looks stupid now. Brand is dingenously comparing Rachel Maddow's year old clip to what Rogan's guests are doing now, which is repeating disproven information. It's not the same thing at all. Everything around covid has been constantly evolving. Brand uses this as a ridiculous gotcha as if no authority figure can be trusted because we've evolved our precautions with the virus.

I really miss the old Russell Brand. He's completely wrapped up in click bait conspiracies at this stage. Sad to see.

The publisher debate is really interesting. Social media in its current form couldn't exist if they were deemed publishers. Boards couldn't exist. You can't mention MCD on this site anymore due to law suits if I remember correctly. Free speech doesn't exist on the likes of YouTube nor twitter nor boards. Never has. It's not censorship for a private company to enforce its own rules. Called moderation in these parts. 4chan is the best you'll get for free speech and it devolves quickly into a cess pool.

The US government didn't remotely say shut him down. They said Spotify and others could do more to combat disinformation on their platforms.

And the rest of your post amounts to conspiracy theories tbh. Imagine a quick Google would surface when he said things cause he's a big personality.
