That’s a LOT of venom directed at Joe Rogan. I occasionally listen to episodes if the guest appeals to me. Clearly, the article author views Rogan as a political partisan adversary with the non stop attack. If I had to guess, Rogan is center-right politically, but with a pretty wide left to right issue-based range. And I think a lot of Americans in the middle would prefer an adult conversation over individual issues rather than being forced to choose a side. And I think it’s hit piece content like this that is far more likely to create active resistance to it, rather than passive support for the points raised. One of the things I credit Rogan with is providing me broader and deeper understanding of Tulsi Gabbard and Jordan Peterson. I really like Tulsi as a person and a holder of elected office. I reckon Rogan’s popularity is due to the fact he mirrors the beliefs of many(maybe half?) men 20’s to 50’s who listen to podcasts. Many average in the middle-ish, but support a broad range issue to issue, who enjoy going down rabbit holes. It’s like listening to a clone go down an internet rabbit hole for 2 hours. Perhaps the author is really attacking Rogan for his fast growing social influence and financial success out of anger that the author’s more traditional medium is losing relevance and financial sustainability.
