    This is my default assumption on all slander articles like this. I stopped listening to JRE when he went Spotify exclusive so I can’t comment on anything recent, but having listened to every single podcast episode from probably equally controversial podcaster Sam Harris, it’s quite hilarious to compare the actual content of the podcast to what these articles are saying.

    Most of the people critizising ones like Joe Rogan here have never listened a single episode of their shows. While there’s plenty of legitimate reasons to critizise for aswell, most of the stuff I hear are bad faith misrepresentations and quotes out of context.

        Not liking someone is different that intentionally misrepresenting their or their quest’s views. You’re free to dislike him all you want, nothing wrong with that.

      Yeah. I agree with you. I definitely don’t agree with a lot that Rogan says and as he even says, he’s not smart. With this said, he has very intellectual guests.

      I was merely stating that Vice, along with most corporate media outlets, like to completely chop up his interviews and create a hit piece from quotes out of context; people eat it up and rage about it and it’s not just Rogan this happens to. Those media outlets love to create anger and turmoil from nothing; most people can’t think for themselves, so headlines and trash articles are how they make opinions
