Rogan Apologizes

12

With Spotify’s market value plummeting after the Neil Young controversy last week, Joe Rogan promised to be more balanced about COVID-19 in an apology on Instagram Sunday. The streamer lost nearly $4 billion in value last week.

Rogan said, “If I’ve pissed you off, I’m sorry. I want to thank Spotify for being so supportive during this time and I’m very sorry that this is happening to them and that they are taking so much heat from it.”

Rogan has had several critics of the COVID-19 vaccine on his show and Neil Young pulled his music from Spotify in protest. Rogan said he’s going to try harder to get people with differing opinions on his show.

On Sunday Spotify posted its vaccine content rules.

  1. So, Joe Rogan gets a slap on the wrist and says he’s sorry for telling the truth about his COVID treatment.
    Perish the thought. It seems that we can’t have an honest discussion about our immune systems, the prophylactic value of Ivermectin and Vitamin D-3 and how different skin colors absorb different amounts of sunlight. The only thing we can say is, “take the shot and take another shot, and take another shot and another shot.”
    Let’s ignore the statistics that prove that the most prevalent of all co-morbidities is old age.
    We can’t discuss the reactions and deaths that come from the medical communities’ blind refusal to aspirate injections, even though a first-year medical student knows that injecting this substance into an artery can cause myocarditis and blood clots.

    I grew up in the era of polio so I’m definitely not an anti vaxer, any more than RFK Jr. who has explained his “safe vax” position repeatedly.
    Obviously, we all know that the dangers of death from COVID are far greater for the unvaccinated, but the devil is in the details.
    As long as we are prevented from openly talking about these details and risks, we won’t be able to make a fully informed decision about our life and our individual risk. We live at a time when truth and objective reason are dying. I pray that truth will survive, because a good dose of truth is always the best treatment.

    • “As long as we are prevented from openly talking about these details and risks…”

      He wasn’t “prevented” from talking about anything. In fact he has agreed to consider a broader range of opinion. That wasn’t forced on him in any way. He did it willingly. Now hopefully he’ll allow others with a different view on his podcast.

      He has freedom of speech, and Neil Young has the freedom to take his music off Spotify.

  2. Every moron in the world now has two sayings on their lips – “cancel culture” and “critical race theory”.

    Who is exactly being “canceled”? The joker spouting lies or Neil Young whose music was taken off the platform?

    There is no such thing as “cancel culture”. It is a conservative conceit designed to distract from systematic forces of suppression that really do exist.

    The loudest voices claiming its existence are the ones that prosper most from it and do the most suppression of contrary viewpoints.

    No one who claims to be “canceled” actually was and the people who lost their livelihoods aren’t the ones complaining. If anyone wants to find out someone who was “cancelled” by the Reich Wing, they can google Kaepernick, Colin.

  3. This joker is lucky he is on Spotify where he can get away with his stupidity because it won’t fly on airwaves that are owned by the public.

    It just shows that Americans don’t understand their rights as a citizen.

    The Vaccines are effective – period end of sentence. Every legitimate scientist who has experience and credibility says they are safe and effective. That is called “settled science”. Your “right” doesn’t include having an opinion on that fact. Your “right” only includes what you are going to do about that fact.

    We are a country that allows you to be as stupid as you want to be in your own room and, evidently, on a podcast but we have rules on how much you can infect others with your stupidity on public airwaves.

    The stupid person is the most dangerous person in the world and now we have multiple channels outside of the public airwaves for that person to infect others including podcasts and social media.

    My hope is that he keeps many like minded rubes from getting vaccinates so we can thin the herd as quickly as possible. The sooner we can rid ourselves of the pestilence of stupid, lazy and/or biased people, the better off we will be.

    “There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov

  4. Well, my 2 cents is that it’s Monday and I need to really make myself look important to these radio stations. So, I’m gonna make sure these sales promo’s sound sweet, and also I’m gonna challenge the Morning Show to squeeze in 2 more records per hour. The audience will hate it, but the consultant will love it. Also, concert season is around the corner and those labels need to know that I play a lot of music. HAHA LOL. HAHAHAHA!

    Gonna check out a new lunch spot today, only problem is that they don’t open until noon, and I usually like to leave for lunch at about 10:30am. That might seem early but my show is already voice-tracked by then and I already sent out about 25 or 26 emails. I’m working hard over here…. -Tee

  5. The Left, eating their own.

    This is obviously a well-orchestrated smear job by the leftist ‘COVID fear porn’ crowd to destroy anyone or any company that upsets their narrative of using the epidemic to exercise power and control, including by the government. This is a very dangerous crowd, happy to use ‘tools’ like Young and Mitchell to propagate their forced adherence against free thinkers.

    Welcome to Orwell’s ‘1984’.

      • Haha..silly fools!!! Everyone knows that the correct way to react to corporate ideas you disapprove of is to destroy things you have already purchased from that company. Take that Nike!!! Take that Carhart!!! Take that Keurig!!!!

        Whooo….that showed them the RIGHT way to respond

    • The usual “cancel culture” bunch here just refuses to understand real facts. When you spout lies for money you’re not being cancelled. You’re cancelling yourself.
