I would be highly suspicious that in this post, the msm is tasked with the standard of giving “straight news” but Joe Rogan is apparently no more quality with “sometimes it’s right, sometimes very wrong”. Why would you actively prefer one mediocre source of news over another mediocre source of news? They both seem mediocre and neither seem worth listening to.
- spaetzleesser 5y agoRogan is not a news program and doesn't claim to be one . His thing is conversations with interesting people.H It can be serious scientists, questionable scientists, flat earthers, UFO people, Alex Jones and many others. He lets them talk and it's up to you do with it whatever you want. I personally find it very interesting to listen to political extremists, conspiracy guys, COVID deniers or flat earthers and learn what they are thinking. I don't need or want to be protected from wrong information. Actually it's very important to know where people you are disagreeing with are coming from. It's very unhealthy to only hear what you think is true. If people want to get protected from wrong information a good start would be advertising. Maybe the woke people at Spotify should start there.
- SamoyedFurFluff 5y agoAll I’m saying is that I don’t get why Joe Rogan and MSM are even comparable if they’re being held to totally different standards. You can critique them both without comparing them. They can both spout misinformation and bias differently because they are fundamentally different products. And they can critique each other’s biases and failures because, wel, they’re different things??
- spaetzleesser 5y agoI just don't see a point in criticizing Rogan. He does exactly what he claims he does and I don't want him to get cancelled. His show is useful.
