The host finally spoke up about his ongoing mishaps with Spotify over the weekend.
What Rogan does over and over again throughout the clip is mention “conversations.” This certainly isn’t unique to Rogan, but folks have used phrases like “we were just having conversations,” or “we were just debating,” as an excuse to air out obvious mistruths, despite the fact that spreading. And what Rogan has been doing is spreading misinformation, plain and simple.
This included recent interviews with figures like Peter McCullough, a cardiologist who used the podcast to air out absolute nonsense like “vaccines killed thousands of people,” and that there was an “intentional” suppression of early treatment plans for covid, Rogan hosted them on his absurdly huge platform, lending an air of legitimacy to these frankly dangerous ideas.
vaccination efforts to the Nazi party’s rise to power, despite the fact that those two concepts aren’t. In his meek defense, Rogan noted in his Instagram clip that these doctors merely “had an opinion that was different from the mainstream narrative,” and that he “wanted to hear what their opinion is.”
“I don’t know if they’re right, because I’m not a doctor, I’m not a scientist,” Rogan said. “I’m just a person who sits down and talks to people and has conversations with them.” Sure dude.Despite the fact that these guests were obviously spewing obviously incorrect statements, Rogan bristled at using the word “misinformation” to describe the two interviews.
