i like joe rogan's podcast and i think he seems like a nice dude

This is why I hate talking to people too involved in politics, yall are incapable of seeing someone past political beliefs. They're not all roght wingers, most of his guests don't even care about politics. You're taking the ones you don't like to paint him as if he's with them by association like he doesn't interview everyone lmao.
Not liking rogan is perfectly fine but assuming he's right wing just because he interviews some right wingers along with left wingers and anyone else is a dumb reason to dislike them
Yall treat politics like sports teams lmao

i mostly watch his podcasts with comedians, musicians, or scientists tho. some of the political podcasts are not quite to my liking but i don't see him as a right wing hack. he is definitely right leaning but i think he reaches across both aisles when need be

That’s what you guys always say. “It’s just a conversation. Joe is a moron. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about”

He’s the biggest podcast influencer on the f***ing planet. All I hear from coworkers nowadays is how bad socialist California is, how the homeless are taking over, moving to Texas, and Blue state taxes. These guys have never even traveled before

This dude is corrupted. Hopefully you realize this soon, and not blame CNN and the MaInStReAm MeDiA

i'm about as left as it gets when it comes to politics. not saying people absolutely couldn't be influenced negatively by Joe, but if you listen to 10 hours of JRE or watch half an hour of Fox News, you'll quickly see Joe really isn't bad... not trying to even be a d***

The way some of you write essays about Joe I wonder if we listen to the same podcast

As someone on the left it’s totally embarrassing to blame Rogan for any of this. Funniest thing is almost every political guest he’s had on in the last couple years from Abby Martin to Kyle Kulinski to even Jimmy Dore are all democratic socialists. I mean even the comedians he resonates with lately are basically left leaning populists like Tim Dillon who just have some edgy jokes. He even had Bernie Sanders on during the election and almost every comment was “wow I never realized he made this much sense”. His audience isn’t nearly as close minded and “right wing” as you believe. He just appeals to a broad audience of average Americans. Some lean left on certain issues and right on others. Most human beings don’t fit neatly into a dictionary definition of an ideology.

I read cnn and the "mainstream media" but it doesn't mean everything that's said there is accurate

I'm not saying he's a moron, you can't be dumb if you build a business like he has

the guy stumbled into being a big podcaster by just having some good content, I highly doubt it was his goal

true socialism blows, I run a business and I could write pages about why but I'm tired of the debate tbh. Socialist policies are good though, healthcare, UBI if implemented right

you gotta escape your twitter mentality lol

some people just read articles about him lol that's the issue

Articles? I doubt they read past the headline

I was trying to be nice cmon

Joe spent the last year and half being an anti masker and anti vax. And that was after he had world class experts and scientists on explaining how serious covid was/is. You gotta be willfully ignorant to not see Joe's obvious conservative grift.

I remember one of the early Tim Dillion episodes where Tim brought up how poorly Trump was handling covid and Joe deflected all the blame away from Trump and said it was other people's fault. He tried to big dog Tim by saying "How do you know Trump made those choices huh? Where's your proof that it was Trump?" It wasn't said in a joking manner either, he was 100% serious. He also cheered when Trump won Texas.

He also follows the conservative centrist guidebook to a T. He'll claim to be in the middle or even a "classical liberal" but spends the majority of his time discussing politics blaming the left and going on rants about sjw's or whatever, while occasionally taking small little jabs at conservatives to give the appearance of being in the middle.

How many times has Joe gone off on college students for ruining comedy, or for political correctness destroying free speech, or for trans athletes invalidating competition? Literally countless times.

How many times has Joe gone off on conservatives for pushing for discriminating and restricting voting laws, for protecting people like Matt Gaetz or Marjorie Taylor Greene, or for enabling Q anon believers? Never.

It's fine if you still enjoy Joe, there's nothing wrong with that. But to ignore his very obvious political leanings or to hide behind "it's just a conversation" is incredibly disingenuous.

This is just a hysterical rant. It’s like highlighting every problematic line in a novel and using that as some grand evidence that the entire thing is artistically bankrupt. The amount of people online who waste so much energy whining about Joe Rogan is incredible. The majority of the population who listens to him likes the silly conversations and whatever troubling implications you have reactionary fear mongering worries over goes in one ear and out the other for them.

Having Bernie Sanders on and the majority of his audiences comments saying they were won over by their conversation basically erases everything else these people are freaking out about. Hot take, but you can be economically a leftist (which is infinitely more important than any culture war issues ya’ll waste time fighting over) and can still take issue with political correctness and be skeptical of plenty of different conclusions establishment institutions come to.

Cope.

I’m a communist you goon. I’m not some Joe Rogan apologist, I just think you people are stupid whining about insignificant nonsense like comedy podcasts. Plenty of non chronically online normal people think your concerns are laughable. They’d look at you like a weirdo with three hands if you uttered any of this garbage in their presence.

need a new Theo episode

and Joey episode

Back on topic. Shane Gillis episode was funny. Nice he had Abby Martin on recently too. Her documentary on Palestine was excellent.

Yeah bro, this is just reactionary fear mongering. It's not like it's been well documented that Joe is a key figure in the alt right pipeline

I'm not saying that Joe himself is in the alt right, but his content 100% has the ability and influence to send someone down that path and it does. He has one of the top 3 biggest podcasts in the world with hundreds of millions of listeners. There are few people in the world with that much reach.

Yeah, the majority of listeners don't even notice or give a s*** about this stuff, I know. But that doesn't change the realities of the people that actually do hear this stuff and who end up falling down the rabbit hole or for the people who are already down there and think Joe is one of them.

Also it's hilarious that you say that I'm just nitpicking evidence, but then you claim a single episode featuring Bernie is all the evidence needed to dispute the issues I brought up And thinking Joe is economically left He specifically left Cali and went to Texas because he was tired of living under a "socialist" leftist government in Cali.

The irony is crazy

it’s not that serious, most adults are conservatives

Funny comedians that aren’t friends w joe need to stop going on. That Shane episode was rough, and I love the guy

No need to watch Rogan anymore Lex is superior

yall really wake up and say "let me listen to a 5 ft midget named joe rogan" 💀🤣
