Joe Rogan

It’s Episode Twenty-Three of MRC’s newest video series, CensorTrack with TR. This week we talked about how when Big Tech censors the speech of prominent figures, they’re censoring you, too.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki called on music and podcast streaming platform Spotify to tighten its grip on speech to stop so-called “misinformation.” It’s a culture-war tactic often used by the left: Accept some subservience by others to its agenda, but say that’s only a start.

The left-wing orthodoxy has spoken: Podcast host Joe Rogan must be banished from society. Rolling Stone slammed Rogan and clinical psychologist and University of Toronto professor emeritus Dr. Jordan Peterson in a self-righteous article. Rogan and Peterson’s crime? Having the nerve to discuss climate change and race.

The pro-Biden media claim to be for “free speech” while they play up left-wing protests demonizing Spotify for airing Joe Rogan’s podcast. CNN is claiming that there’s too much division and conflict in society – just as Biden nominates a black woman for the Supreme Court...apparently everyone should sing Kumbaya and vote Yes.

Leftists called on Spotify to ban popular podcast host Joe Rogan over alleged COVID-19 “misinformation.” Rogan has interviewed doctors on his show who dissent from the left’s COVID-19 narratives.

On Monday's installment of At This Hour, CNN chief media correspondent Brian Stelter joined host Kate Bolduan to assert that people can trust CNN to be truthful and accurate because, unlike Joe Rogan, it is a real news operation that cares about facts and information.

All three major broadcast networks continued on Monday morning to do their part in the push to remove Joe Rogan from the public square over his top-rated Spotify podcast under the guise of COVID-19 falsehoods. In the case of ABC, CBS, and NBC, they ratcheted up the rhetoric from when they first covered it last week, calling his show and views “dangerous” “misinformation” with one implicitly…

Following a Monday segment blasting podcaster Joe Rogan for spreading “misinformation,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg showed us that real misinformation and anti-Semitism was alive and well on ABC’s The View as she falsely suggested, “the Holocaust isn't about race” but just “two white groups” going at it.

World-famous podcaster Joe Rogan stirred up controversy with Cancel Culture mobs by interviewing medical professionals who questioned shifting narratives of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, rocker Neil Young pulled his music from Spotify in protest, causing Spotify and Rogan himself to respond.

Spotify has faced more criticism for its decision to keep Joe Rogan’s podcast on the platform.

Who knew rocker Neil Young was into censorship? The one-time rock and roll guy of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, - he of such legendary hits as “Rockin’ in the Free World” - was typical of 60’s and 70’s rock and roll types, supposedly free and easy. He had no problem with drugs, advertising his use in memoirs. Now pretending there’s no problem with drug use would be…

On Friday, we were flustered by the rumor that Seventies pop star Barry Manilow sided with Neil Young in pulling his songs from Spotify over Joe Rogan. The rumor was untrue. But this kind of controversy lines up with our interview with Christian Toto about his new book on politically correct entertainment, Virtue Bombs: How Hollywood Got Woke and Lost Its Soul.

U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy called on Big Tech to remove Joe Rogan’s podcast because of so-called COVID-19 “misinformation.”

Spotify apparently accepted singer Neil Young’s terms after he demanded the platform choose between his music and famed podcast host Joe Rogan. Old man, look at your life. Spotify noted in a response to the once-legendary Canadian-American singer’s ultimatum that it regrets Young’s decision to remove his music from the platform’s library.
