Peter McCullough and Robert Malone use this platform as a way of furthering information that is contrary to the facts. One aspect of “The Joe Rogan Experience” that people enjoy is that it gives an open platform to discuss an array of subjects. There are problems with certain guests, along with Rogan himself, spreading harmful misinformation about COVID related matters and the use of the N-word. I would say the criticism towards Rogan is warranted.
There have been several back-and-forth discussions about “canceling” Joe Rogan and whether the pushback by other Spotify artists is justified. In response to this, Rogan has recently posted a video apologizing for his past actions. Seventy episodes of “The Joe Rogan Experience” have been removed by Spotify due to these controversies. All of this has led to artists such as Neil Young, India Arie and Joni Mitchell to take steps towards leaving Spotify in protest to the spread of misinformation and bigotry. Now, Rogan is embroiled in yet another embarrassing situation stemming from his use of the N-word and other (at best) racially insensitive commentary on previous podcasts.Ī compilation of clips showing Rogan using the slur on previous podcasts, along with a clip of him joking about a screening of the “Planet of the Apes,” in which he seemed to equate people of African descent to apes, has caused an uproar for Spotify, the streaming service which broadcasts his content.
One of the primary controversies that has been in the news here lately deals with Rogan’s espousing of misinformation about COVID-19 and vaccines, ranging from discouraging young people from getting the vaccine, promoting the use of ivermectin as a suitable treatment for COVID, as well as platforming individuals who spread misinformation. In its ten-year-plus tenure, “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast has been the center of multiple controversies. Screenshot from "Joe Rogan Experience #1512"
