This might have you questioning yourself.
Once again Tv host, Comedian, and Podcaster Joe Rogan has found himself in the news for being an anti-science dimwit, Then again, if you look back at his past statements, it isn’t exactly the first time.
Most recently hundreds of medical experts have signed an open letter condemning Rogan and Spotify, which owns exclusive rights to his podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience,” for spreading misinformation about the COVID-19 pandemic on his uber-popular podcast show.
Rogan had a reputation as a controversial podcaster for views that weren’t exactly hidden, but his views seemed to gain traction after he joined Spotify.
He has been skeptical of vaccines and other methods for fighting the Coronavirus even after he contracted it, inviting anti-vaxxers on his show, such as Alex Jones, long before he inked a deal with Spotify reportedly worth more than $100 million.
Though nothing seems to shake the podcast host outside, the anti-Rogan sentiment hit a boiling point when one of the cornerstones of modern music said he wanted off Spotify for Rogan’s misinformed statements.
Neil Young wrote an open letter to his manager and label, which has since been taken down from the Internet, expressing his disdain for Spotify and Rogan.
