Alex Jones on Joe Rogan, amazing stuff better listen while you can before Big Brother Tech bans it https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Ts4ONY3v7HvDw1s3bPpzm
Remember when I got blasted by Rogan fans when I said that he's actually very much a pro-Trump media outlet? Everything he's done the past two years has softened his base listeners of conservative white men who think they are socially liberal to be primed and ready to turn hard right when Rogan tells them it's the cool thing to do. I saw this coming a year ago, and got blasted for it. Rogan is a douche, and in the end decided to do what we all feared he would do with his platform.
He just got a huge deal from Spotify. He's getting little blurbs on news sites here and there like hes got pull. I used to listen frequently but now it's pretty rare depending on guest. Have his"ratings" been declining? Lol
Rogan is also a Bernie Bro outlet as well. My guess is that Rogan sees in Trump and Bernie two people who know how to draw and work a crowd ... something Biden can’t do.
and there it is suprised Rogan doesn't have a contract clause forbidding this predictable action still on youtube, but not for long I'm sure
Rogan has Glenn Greenwald on as his next guest. I actually listened to most of that one, and thought it was pretty good. It was a little bit too self-congratulating but I’m philosophically mostly in agreement with Greenwald on free speech issues and the role of the press. I wasn’t planning on listening to the Alex Jones interview. From what I heard, Rogan did push back on some the outlandish conspiracy theories Jones was selling to his listeners. I don’t understand why Rogan would choose to give him, of all people, air time on his podcast. I guess he was testing what he could get away with.
When Joe Rogan and Alex Jones square off across a table at high noon, which one wears the white hat and which one the black?
I dont understand the Alex Jones obsession from either side. Is he really that big of a threat to leftist? I understand why Rogan puts him on. He is a controversial figure and Rogan can claim he will let anyone on the podcast. I think its a bit silly, but so is claiming Rogan is a right wing propaganda machine. Its obvious some people do not understand Rogans core. Hint: Its not leftist snowflakes or rural racists.
“Leftists”, no. He is a threat to the very values Rogan purports to support. Science, reason, honesty and pursuit of truth. It is worth opposing him. Should that be done by top-down suppression of his voice, or by exposing him as a charlatan so no one takes him seriously? Ideally the latter — but that is a difficult battle to win when you are dealing a population that so readily accepts conspiracy theories.
Glenn Greenwald??? Seriously dude. This guy has only made himself relevant by fueling the maga line about Dem and MSM censorship. Half of his Twitter feed is b****ing about how unfair it is that the Hunter Biden email story isn’t breaking news. When Glenn Greenwald and now Joe Rogan are further to the right than Ted Cruz in the desperation hurt Biden and help Trump by parroting right wing propaganda... he’s done with being considered a respectable journalist. When you have a country that is on the verge of losing its Democracy because of fascist propaganda, and you are saying that “censorship” from people who care about the facts and truth being accurately presented.... it tells you all you need to know. The media and the Dems are not censoring anything in regards to the Hunter Biden story. The truth is the Hunter Biden story is just plain stupid and doesn’t move a single voter .... as Ted Cruz himself admits. If anyone really is interested in learning about Hunter Biden... there are about 500 right wing conspiracy theory sites right now covering it wall to wall. CNN and MSNBC can cover whatever the hell they want to. That is THEIR 1st amendment right.
I don’t like censorship, but giving a platform to somebody like that is doing them enough of a favor. It just feeds this shock culture bull and being edgy
I don’t get what you mean by “further to the right”. That’s kind of absurd — as if Biden somehow represents “the left” and any criticism of him or his campaign means you are on “the right”. Greenwald has willfully put himself at risk in Brazil going after crooks in the Bolsonaro government in defense of wrongful prosecution of the former socialist president, and you want to argue that he is to the right of Ted Cruz? And he won a Pulitzer in 2013 for his Snowden reporting. He was relevant pre-MAGA.
Greenwald still relevant to me. He's abrasive and borderline toxic right now, if only because he aint making friends with his media colleagues. The Intercept set up with lofty journalistic goals, but the headstrong personalities of their founders made them stumble on execution and accountability. It was their fault a whistleblower got caught for a story through a simple NSA fact checking confirmation. Regardless, the well of journalism is tainted, but there aren't better places to drink. I'd wager at least 80% of the national media corps right now are actively rooting for one candidate to win and are running headlines, op/eds, and "analysis" to support it. It's baked in to the point that the consumers actually demand that bias as some weird form of consistency. Not good. Greenwald and a few others are at least putting some accountability into their increasingly haphazard slips in reporting... Honestly, there are people buying into the "destruction of America" on both sides, but we're either in for a deeper boil or a grueling step by step path towards reform. Obama disappointment should've taught progressives that. Destruction is way different than a sustained decline or deepening inequality between have and have nots. Need to see change on the ground first before you see governments or companies stray away from the status quo.
