Today, self-proclaimed Neil Young fan Rogan said he was “very sorry” the iconic musicians felt they had to get off Spotify because of him. “I most certainly don’t want that,” Rogan declared Sunday. Copping to the fact a lot of what he says on his hugely popular podcast is “not that prepared or fleshed out,” one-time self described “moron” Rogan also thanked his $100 million paymasters Spotify for “being so supportive during this time and I’m very sorry that this is happening to them.”

quote:

“If there’s anything that I’ve done that I could do better, it’s having more experts with differing opinions right after I have the controversial ones,” The Joe Rogan Experience host said, noting he agreed with Ek’s disclaimer and content warning plan. “I would most certainly be open to doing that. And I would like to talk to some people who have differing opinions on the podcasts in the future. I do all the scheduling myself and I don’t always get it right.”

“I don’t know what else I can do,” Rogan states too.

Not much of an apology considering

Said "experts" want absolutely nothing to do with being in a firing line for 3+ hours

That's a knee fake if anything, huge ratings and they would be entering his ring on their own accord.

He knows they'll never show.

This is actually good, if other “experts” appear on his show for a counter opinion. But I doubt they will. Too scared.

Eh, not so much.
He admits he'll add a disclaimer at the beginning of covid episodes to "talk to your physician" before taking any advice and that he'll have on "pro vaccine" scientists as well. He knows good and well the "pro-vaccine" guests either won't agree to come on and if they do he'll make them look dumb in front of 11 million listeners. You can't BS your way thru a 3 hour conversation and Rogan knows that.

That's true. If your show has only one persuasive expert, most people will come away convince of his position.

But if you have 2 very good ones. That forces people to think critically.

This is very disappointing, its official money and the quest for it now rule our country over everything else.

Maybe the knee didn’t hit the ground, but the leg bent.
There wasn’t a need for an “apology” and him agreeing to find more opportunities to have dissenting opinions on his show is, in reality, an agreement to give the mainstream media a bigger voice.

His show is supposed to be the counterpunch to the “ narrative”. Not another platform to promote the actual lies and misinformation of the mainstream.

But Rogan isn’t some great thinker anyway. He’s just a guy that lets people talk. He’s hit that right.

Very early in the pandemic, he had Dr. Michael Osterholm on the show, who later joined Biden's covid advisory board during the campaign. Rogan has always done a good job of having dissenting viewpoints on the show. He has never struck me as a guy who is trying to set a narrative. He simply has interesting people on, who are considered experts in their subject matter to talk for 3 hours. The art of Rogan is that he is able to get away with letting the guest do the talking most of the time. Who else in the media has interviewed Bernie Sanders and Alex Jones for 2-3 hours each? If that isn't covering the bases of not being biased, I don't know what is.
