      With all due respect, that’s a poor take. We aren’t preachers of some kind of church trying to save his soul and make him “think right”. It’s OK to call him out for being the gateway drug to the alt right, and to be appaled by the guy’s shit takes.

        ok its good that you are not trying to make one 'think right, but i find him more tolearable than many. he listens to others better than most, has a sense of humor, etc. i dont see why that plus interviewing rightists making him liable.

          It’s a mistake to think he just listens to his guests. But the truth is that he also speaks his mind. The more he does it, the more we see the the real Rogan shining through. And the real Rogan isn’t all that pretty.

          I can see why he can be appealing to you, and I can respect that, even if I’m not the target audience. But I wish he didn’t give a platform to the right-wing lunatics, and that he stopped parroting their horsecrap viewpoints.

      The post is about Joe Rogan specifically. Are you seriously trying to say “you can’t criticise someone unless they are the worst person in the world?”

      People can do both: point out Joe Rogan’s hypocrisy AND dislike people who are worse than him.
