    no, it is not hypocritical at all. free speech has ZERO to do with it. 
    100% this. A private citizen can use his/her speech to request a private company take an action and that company can consider it or ignore them entirely.

    You should be focused on the fact that Spotify doesn't seem to be bending on this. It's more important to encourage large companies and institutions to push back than get worked up over a rando Twitter blue check exercising his own rights.

    "Free speech activist uses free speech to criticize corporation for amplifying misinformation" isn't the gotcha that Shorty seems to think it is.
    You forgot “free speech” between “amplifying” and “misinformation.”

    Exactly. Private citizen is criticizing big company with no repercussions from the state. Another private citizen could agree with the company and that's ok! What a system!

    rogan posted on instagram about this. he said (paraphrasing) that he knew people would judge this podcast without even watching it, and "i was right". he said he fact checked everything jones said, and he was mostly right on everything. he posted an interview that bill gates did where he admits that the corona vaccine that moderna is testing that 80% of the people in the study got sick. and bill gates looked uncharacteristically uncomfortable talking about it the entire time. 

    he said "look, we all know alex is nuts, but he's also right about a lot of things". 

    maybe i'll watch the podcast to see what his idea of fact checking is. I know that someone who posted a video of their proof that rogan is a nut/full of shit, but the video they posted was rogan looking at an article by the associated press.

    This is the AP article they were supposedly discussing:

    https://apnews.com/article/virus-outbreak-health-middle-east-africa-united-nations-619efb65b9eeec5650f011b960a152e9

    On one hand, I have some criticism of Rogan and one is that he gives Alex Jones too much leeway. On the other hand, the people who are perpetually mad about him distort their critiques in the hope of maximizing impact. I probably wasn't going to listen to this episode to begin with and don't have the time to make myself a scholar on it. So I shrug my shoulders and just keep listening to the ones where the guests are interesting. MJK, Quinn, Burr, etc.

    This obsession with "free speech" and whatever amendment.

    Here it is just a given. Doesn't need to be a "thing".

    i don't even know what your point is here. and jamie is a producer. not an "off camera friend". you don't have a $100 million show by employing a buddy who isn't a professional.

    again with this "touched a nerve" shit. that's what people mean by trolling. you didn't touch any nerve. you once again showed your seemingly unending ignorance. and if touching people's nerves is some motivation for posting, then maybe you should take some time to reflect on why.

    I am so sorry Mr Dillon that I do not know enough about Joe Rogan, to know that the person off-screen googling - while accepting to have Alex Jones on - has the title "producer" and not "friend".

    Leaving aside Rogans weak in time fact checking, he gave a platform to Alex Jones for over 3 hrs. I thought everyone was done with that piece of shit, but here we are. Rogan dragged him out of the trash bin and gave him an audience of millions.

    We should all be asking ourselves why he would do that?

    Didn't know it was so important if it was a "friend" or someone having the title "producer" googling some stuff off the side, while they invite Alex Jones on.

    But, lets get back on track:

    did you watch/listen to the podcast to be able to make the claim that it was "weak in time"?

    I have already given my theory as to why rogan sometimes has guests on his show like this, but whenever it doesn't include "because he's a POS", it's seen as defending him (which it's not-a theory is not a defence).

    The answer is that they've been friends for a long time and he has (imo) a misguided blind spot for the guy at this point. There was a period of time when Alex Jones was basically a daytime Art Bell. The Info Wars ascent is insane and long ago reached a point where a responsible person would have taken their foot off the gas.
