Some words regarding Neal Young removing his music from Spotify.

[davidscott]

Just changing it up for a second.
How about a moment of silence for the passing of Dr. Johnny Fever, aka Howard Hesseman.
WKRP in Cincy was one of the best TV shows in the late 70s mostly due to him, the homage to radio, and of course, Lonnie Anderson's...figure.. RIP.

RIP Dr Fever.

So this morning @John Parks posted a video response a couple pages back that Joe put out earlier and not a single comment on it. Did anyone watch it..?

Ten minutes long. Ain't got time for that.

Look, I wouldn't lump him in with the most rabid anti-vaxxers, just to be clear. But, he seems to have allowed too much BS to be aired on his podcast for some people to just let it slide.

Yes, a Rodney Dangerfield reference. You win 2¢ as the only one to get that.

That's because I have the unique ability to remember crap that's useless to the vast majority of the human population.

I'll take that it Bitcoin, if you don't mind.

A question to ask him is how many experts in the field has he asked to interview and broadcast?

Well is that a Rogan-defined "expert" or what?

Does infectious disease expert and PhD Dr Michael Osterholm from Biden's covid advisory board count? Joe's had him on too...

With all due respect, if you're not gonna watch any of his videos or responses then you really shouldn't be drawing any conclusions...

As far as that instagram one goes he gets most of it out in the first half, before his story about the Neil Young concert so you can get most of the gist of it in the first 5 minutes.

That's the issue. The first 5 min he does basically say "I have people from both sides of the argument on because I'm interested in what they have to say." That's pretty much it.

Now, the issue is that he gave these folks a "platform" to speak on and people aren't happy about it. He also gave equal time to people a lot of us would agree with. It's fair, but I can see the issue with giving the people that question all the vaccine stuff a platform to reach more people would be considered a bad thing.

It's back to my post about facts. If they can prove what they say with facts, I have no issue. If they just say "in my opinion the vaccine will do more damage than the virus" then don't show massive amounts of data to back up that opinion, then we have a problem.

He needs 5 minutes to say that?

Be happy he's not a politician- it would take hours, maybe days.

He also pledged to put trigger warnings and disclaimers on the more controversial episodes and to follow them up immediately with mainstream experts for the counter viewpoints.

So take it you didn't bother to watch it either then..?

 

[Pogre]

My friend said the same thing. Only he put it "they should be glad Joe's a good guy because if he really did have an agenda this could be far, far worse..."

I saw most of one published last spring. It’s that one you mean? Was in an earlier post in this thread.

I mean the instagram one I posted yesterday where he gets most of his response out in the first 5 minutes. Parks posted the video and I reposted yesterday. Nobody (detractors) seems to have watched it or has any comment on it...

 

[Pogre]

It's a direct response to this whole controversy!

Nope, did not watch that one.

This is the issue! Folks are piling on and don't even know what's been said! I just reposted it. Again. You should watch it if you have an opinion on this.

To watch it on my mobile phone I need to register an account on Instagram out Facebook. So no, I’m not going to watch it.

I won’t register an account to watch it. Sorry.
