> He lets the interviewed to talk freely and requests explanations when bullshit claims are made.

Rogan has a long history of false vaccine claims on his show, presented both by him and his guests:

He'll surely challenge a guest when he thinks they're wrong, it's his own mistruths and the ones he ignores that are at issue here.



Interesting how you back up your claim that Rogan is spreading disinformation by referencing a publication known for disinformation.

The Duke rape case completely blew up Rollingstones credibility pretty much forever it was that egregious.


> The Duke rape case completely blew up Rollingstones credibility pretty much forever it was that egregious.

So what you're saying is that one act of disingenuous credibility should forever taint a publisher? Say...like Joe Rogan?


Well considering OP hasn’t even proven disinformation by Rogan yet, let’s start there.

And Rollingstone has multiple examples of either exaggerating stories or making them up out of whole cloth.

Ok so then maybe don't make statements like this:

> blew up credibility pretty much forever it was that egregious.


I think my statement is reasonable.

There is “misinformation”, saying something untrue, then there is straight up spreading lies you know are untrue (Duke rape case), trying to cover it up when exposed and doing it multiple times.

I think the 2nd can permanently destroy credibility.


Not to mention the false Ivermectin story about poisonous overdoses.


OK, here's another source for a different instance of Covid misinformation that comes out of Rogan's own mouth: https://futurism.com/neoscope/joe-rogan-destroyed-guest

You can see him using motivated reasoning to defend the talking point he was trying to advance -- a talking point that itself has an obvious agenda behind it.
