I don\u2019t say that to be cruel. He just was. The man obviously lived life on his own terms, and when it comes to obesity, that choice is, unfortunately, catching up to a lot of people in this pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s where Sullivan\u2019s McCarthyism and racism rear their dual-head:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I have talked to many of his co-workers and friends over the past week, briefly to his mother, and, at some length, to his father. What I\u2019ve gleaned is that friends had been pushing him to get vaccinated for months but that he and his family hadn\u2019t been convinced that it was wise or necessary.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if Rogan were to use his incredibly powerful voice \u2014 he has some 11 million listeners per episode \u2014 to talk productively about all of this, to&nbsp;<em>counter&nbsp;<\/em>some of the destructive bilge instead of adding to it.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine if Spotify recognized that a platform is essentially a publisher, and that media organizations of all kinds constantly have to make decisions about what\u2019s appropriate to put on the air, in their pages or on their websites.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As someone who is pro-vaccine, when I read about people like Rodriguez, only one thought runs through my mind: this poor man lying there dying and wondering if a few shots of the vaccine might have made the difference. It\u2019s a tragic thought and one that breaks my heart for everyone who dies this way.<\/p>\n<p>But in her zeal to censor and blacklist Rogan, and anyone else who dares disagree with her, Margaret \u201cJoe McCarthy\u201d Sullivan not only feasts on the corpse of her so-called friend, not only exploits him for this week\u2019s hot take, but demeans him with the condescending idea he was incapable of thinking for himself. You see, all he needed was a lockstep, left-wing media narrative (that has been more wrong than right about COVID) to hold his hand and show him the way\u2026<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Well, here\u2019s a thought: maybe if misinformation machines like the <em>Washington Post<\/em> had not spent the last five years lying about Russia Collusion, the lab leak theory, the efficacy of masks and lockdowns, <em>Hands Up, Don\u2019t Shoot<\/em>; Jussie Smollet, Hunter\u2019s laptop, Russian bounties, the Covington Kids, and on and on and on, people would trust your vaccine reporting?<\/p>\n<p>I could just as easily write a piece about how the <em>Washington Post<\/em> and the rest of the corporate media\u2019s serial lying killed Miguel Rodriguez, how whoring out their credibility meant that no one believed them when it mattered.<\/p>\n<p>It all comes down to this: Miguel Rodriguez was a <em>Man,<\/em> a 47-year-old man who made a living as a sports reporter going back to at least 2003, and as much as this disturbs racist white leftists, <em>he had a mind of his own<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that\u2019s correct, Maggie: non-white people are perfectly capable of thinking for themselves, and as much as this might shock you, non-white people are going to make their own choices and decisions without your condescending help. Believe it or not, non-white people are not sitting around waiting for a white savior to lead them towards enlightenment, and sometimes, just like all of us, non-white people make mistakes.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t know Miguel Rodriguez, and he was too young to die, and I sure wish he\u2019d gotten himself vaccinated, but never in a million years would I demean anyone, much less a friend, in such a condescending and public way.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Rodriguez had a mind of his own and lived life on his own terms. I\u2019m very sorry he passed, but that\u2019s something we should respect, not demean and exploit to puff ourselves up as superior.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and Margaret Sullivan is also a liar spreading misinformation, because guess what? Rogan has repeatedly <a href=\"https:\/\/amp.www.complex.com\/pop-culture\/joe-rogan-wonders-people-should-get-vaxxed-contract-covid-dirty-people\/\">urged<\/a> \u201cfat people\u201d to get vaccinated. So how exactly does that square with Sullivan\u2019s fascist attempt to blame a man\u2019s death on Joe Rogan?<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Follow John Nolte on Twitter <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NolteNC\"><strong><em>@NolteNC<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong>. <em>Follow his Facebook Page <\/em><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/JohnNolteNC\/?skip_nax_wizard=true\"><strong><em>here<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You will never read anything more racist than the Washington Post\u2019s Margaret Sullivan using a Sunday column to demean a Hispanic man.
