Assuming you're talking about Rogan here, and not one of his guests. He doesn't pose as anything, certainly not as an expert on topics that he's not. So everything besides MMA. Seems to me that you've never listened to his show. He never debates scientists or academics on their areas of expertise. He asks questions.
And your final line about him being dangerous because he inspires people to have opinions about things they are not qualified to assess... Utter garbage. First of all, you don't know anything about his audience, their qualifications and their opinions and conclusions. Second, this line of thinking would extend to all media. Here, let me give you a contemporary example:
- Masks aren't necessary, just wash your hands
- Wear masks
- Closing schools is good
- Closing schools is bad
- The vaccine stops the spread
- Don't need masks if you're vaxxed
- The vaccine was never meant to stop the spread, sorry you interpreted it that way - Fauci's own words (how many people died because we were told that the vaxxed don't have to worry about infecting anyone any more?)
- Wear masks even though you're vaxxed
- Get the Vax to save others even though it doesn't stop the spread
The mainstream media has been a pile of hot garbage and endless contradictions during the pandemic. You're expected to just take everything they say at face value and "trust the science". That right there is what's truly dangerous.
The media and government should be honest and explain that "the science" is far from conclusive, rapidly evolving, and that there are many unknowns. Instead, they of course assume that everyone is a moron and must be told what to do.
The idea that Rogan is dangerous because some morons may do whatever a guest tells them to do is full of hypocrisy. That, and neither Rogan nor his guests actually tell anyone what to do. But they may inspire people to ask questions and dig deeper. And the fact that this is so frowned upon in this day in age, is the tragedy of our time.
