The musician yanked his iconic tracks from Spotify, home to \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience,\u201d to protest Rogan\u2019s supposed \u201cmisinformation.\u201d The media and progressive Left scurried to Young\u2019s side, along with musicians like David Crosby, Joni Mitchell and India.Arie.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rogan backpedaled and apologized after an embarrassing montage of out-of-context- \u201cn-words\u201d went viral and vowed to do better. And for those who understand Cancel Culture 101, he gave his critics more ammunition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>As Adam Carolla astutely observed, \u201cyou retreat, they encroach.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>But a funny thing happened since then. Rogan stopped apologizing and got back behind his microphone. More importantly, he didn\u2019t change his ways. Sure, he\u2019s not talking about COVID-19 as much as before (who is?), but he\u2019s revisiting his preferred targets \u2014 media corruption and Big Tech censorship \u2014 with equal, if not extra, vigor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rogan recently railed against woke attacks on his line of business, comedy. He chatted with fellow stand-up Tom Papa, and the two commiserated on the lack of R-rated comedies in the Age of Woke.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Where are the \u201cHangovers,\u201d \u201cWedding Crashers\u201d and \u201cStep Brothers,\u201d raucous comedies you can\u2019t wait to tell your friends about, the duo asked? Woke culture, Rogan declared, killed the comedy movie. He even diagnosed a key reason why.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThere\u2019s a weird thing that happens when you\u2019re making fun of something \u2026 it\u2019s supposedly an endorsement of what that activity is, even if it\u2019s completely unacceptable.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>A great example? USA Today savaged the iconic college comedy \u201cAnimal House,\u201d in part, because John Belushi\u2019s character peeps into a sorority house\u2019s bedroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rogan also teed off on Big Pharma, once targeted by the Left but now part of the COVID-19 narrative that shant be questioned. He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/news\/joe-rogan-big-tech-censorship-pharma\">called<\/a> the heads of major pharmaceutical companies, \u201cthe lyingest liars that ever lied.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That episode featured another concept the Left loathes \u2013 forgiving past transgressions. Guest Daryl Davis, who is black, famously bonds with racists to help them change their hateful ways. And it often works \u2014 witness the KKK hoods he has in his possession, donated to him by former racists who grew as a result of their time with Davis.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That same \u201cJRE\u201d episode found the host <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/podcasts\/rogan-decries-fcking-crazy-tech-censorship-what-they-call-harmful-is-just-disagreeing-with-pharmaceutical-companies\/\">questioning<\/a> platforms like Facebook and Twitter which aggressively silence voices that often deserve a fair hearing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cThere\u2019s an ideology that\u2019s patched to all the big tech companies. \u2026 you have to be what they think is woke. Right? You have to subscribe to a certain way of thinking and anyone who deviates from that line of thinking gets suppressed, minimized, or banned!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rogan also won\u2019t stop hammering CNN, the far-Left news organization which directly maligned him last year following his brief battle with COVID-19. CNN, like too many other outlets, incorrectly said Rogan took \u201chorse dewormer,\u201d AKA Ivermectin, to fend off the virus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rogan skewered that untruth on his podcast, even to CNN contributor Dr. Sunjay Gupta\u2019s face.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He\u2019s still pummeling CNN these days, <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/02\/11\/joe-rogan-blasts-cnn-over-spotify-flap\/\">saying<\/a> the cable channel lacks honesty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIf you\u2019re in business and your business is the news and you want to get more people to pay attention, you should be honest \u2026And my thoughts for CNN, my advice to them: I don\u2019t hate CNN. I used to go to them every day for the news until they start f\u2014-ng hatin\u2019 on me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rogan isn\u2019t just focused on CNN\u2019s duplicity. He\u2019s aghast at extreme media bias.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201c[Reporters] don\u2019t just love a good story, they love a narrative. And they\u2019re willing to ignore facts to promote that narrative. That\u2019s what scares me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>That conversation naturally <a href=\"https:\/\/rumble.com\/vxy8e7-joe-rogan-on-hunter-it-scares-me-that-media-will-ignore-facts-to-push-a-nar.html?mref=ah9c7&#038;mc=cfcoh\">segued<\/a> to the Hunter Biden laptop story, which Big Tech and mainstream media outlets treated like a \u201cBat Boy\u201d update from Weekly World News when it was, in fact, accurate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt\u2019s safe to say some f***ery is afoot \u2026\u00a0 no one\u2019s apologized.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It helps to understand why Rogan\u2019s critics attack him in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Why not similarly target \u201cThe View,\u201d the syndicated talk show which regularly spews misinformation? Need one example? The ill-informed panel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/media\/the-view-sunny-hostin-drastically-overstates-percentage-covid-deaths-younger-people\">warned<\/a> children are at significant risk of death from COVID-19. That kind of reportage does real harm.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>What about outlets NPR which threw professionalism to the wind in order to dismiss the Biden laptop story without doing any real reporting to disprove it, let alone the Russian collusion hoax?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Besides, Rogan isn\u2019t a news anchor or pundit. He\u2019s not even conservative, although his enemies lazily dub him \u201cright wing,\u201d much like the current assault on fellow firebrand Russell Brand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He became Public Enemy No. 1 because he has a huge following, and critics wanted him to stop questioning their preferred narratives. If Rogan spent his time blasting Fox News and Fauci critics, they wouldn\u2019t mind if he swore the moon was made of swiss cheese.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Or, if he won\u2019t stop debunking narratives, Spotify must censor his show.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Spotify stood by their massive investment. Rogan, for his part, refused to do what Jimmy Fallon did after the \u201cTonight Show\u201d host playfully tousled Donald Trump\u2019s hair weeks before the 2016 presidential election. Fallon became Stephen Colbert Lite, turning his NBC platform into another progressive mouthpiece.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Rogan bent but did not break.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>He\u2019s still questioning authority, still sharing content that made him a superstar in the first place.\u00a0He hasn\u2019t chatted up controversial figures like Dr. Robert Malone or Alex Jones lately, but it\u2019s clear he\u2019s doing his podcast his way\u2026 still.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>And, unless his critics can uncover more damaging material in his past, he will survive the current and future fights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>The views expressed in this opinion piece are the author\u2019s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cancel Culture isn\u2019t done with Joe Rogan yet.What\u2019s clear, though, is the first attempts to silence the world\u2019s most famous podcaster failed in more ways than one.The burly comic survived<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":279,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1407795","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1407795","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/279"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1407795"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1407795\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1407795"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1407795"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1407795"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
