He's an advocate of universal healthcare, and universal basic income. I'd say that's left-wing.
He hosts many people on the political right, and his interview style is generally sympathetic and non-adversarial, so it would be easy to mistake him for right-wing, in a world where conventionally people do not entertain political ideas other than their own.
- JansjoFromIkea 7y agoCan't say I know the guy so well but the impression I've gotten is that he: a) has a disproportionate number of right leaning types one who... b) tend to be more likely to make absolute statements which he tends to let pass by without much argument Now (b) is pretty subjective on my end so it's not worth discussing, but I wonder if there's been any kind of attempt to cover what way his guests tend to skew? Does it lean right because more left leaning types are unwilling to go on (out of a perception that he's right leaning) or does Joe/whoever picks the guests unintentionally skew the show by the kind of guests they find most appealing to talk to (not necessarily agree with).
- gnode 7y agoThat was my impression too. Just looking through recent interviewees (https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/list-of-people-interviewed-on-the-joe-rogan-experience/ https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/list-of-people-interview...), I'm not sure that it's a valid one. Most of the interviews seem non-political, with comedians seeming to feature most commonly. Maybe the sense of bias is driven more by what Youtube prefers to promote, or that right-wing interviewees generate more controversy and interest. In turn, that may incentivise right-wing characters to feature on the show or associate with Joe Rogen.
