White House press secretary Jen Psaki praised Spotify Tuesday for adding disclaimers to podcast episodes that discuss COVID-19 — before adding “there’s more that can be done.”
said last week that they wanted to remove their music from Spotify due to Rogan’s presence.
“The problem I have with the term ‘misinformation,’ especially today, is that many of the things that we thought of as misinformation just a short while ago are now accepted as fact,”“For instance, eight months ago if you said, ‘If you get vaccinated, you can still catch COVID and you can still spread COVID,’ you’d be removed from social media — they would, they would ban you from certain platforms,” he went on. “Now, that’s accepted as fact.
“I’m not a doctor. I’m not a scientist. I’m just a person who sits down and talks to people in those conversations with them,” Rogan said. “Do I get things wrong? Absolutely. I get things wrong, but I try to correct them.”
