he was on in the middle of the night talking about aliens. only cultist truckers and conspiracy theorists listened to him

^^^^^

I know that's not 100% true, but that's the rationale

Rogan is reaching a much bigger audience (allegedly)

Cause liberals are asleep overnight to get in line at the welfare office bright and early the next morning.

perhaps there were attempts and you just didn't know about it because you didn't have access to every single news story at an instant?

Because he died before canceling became a big thing?

Because, there are real conspiracy theories and then there are fantasies. Art Bell peddled in fantasy that at times got labeled as conspiracy theory. They were harmless and did not impact peoples' income stream so no one cared.

But if you talk about real world conspiracies, like how pharmaceutical companies literally conspire with the federal government to make profits, that's off limits.

His shows focused more on the supernatural and bizarre (ghosts, aliens, time travel, etc.).

You may or may not recall he got into some shite regarding the Hale-Bopp comet cult Heavens Gate and the groups subsequent mass suicide. Time magazine and a number of other outlets wrote stories that implicated him in spreading false info regarding the supposed UFO that flew alongside the comet. I think their were a couple of other public flare ups regarding his programming here and there but for the most part, everyone knew, including Art that his show was just for entertainment.
I'm mean the guy had an Anti Christ hotline (some of my favorite shows btw) and guest talked about lizard people taking over the earth.

Because Art Bell died in 2018. No one was demonetized or deplatformed before 2018. This is a new form of censorship.

Name me one person that got "cancelled" other than Colin Kaepernick? I can't think of one.

The current group is more into super natural stuff. Bell was more into the time travel, shadow government, alien stuff.

If I remember correctly, Art Bell was the first one to expose thr government and thr conspiracy with thr Branch Dividians. Dude went balls deep exposing the whole thing.

He would absolutely be canceled in his prime today.
