Giving Alex Jones a platform is one thing but a bigger problem is people that believe the nonsense he speaks. When did society become the collective brain for everyone? It’s on the individual to figure stuff out for him or herself.
Joe is a heavily left leaning (socially) capitalist, he seems to me to be very libertarian. I bet there’s a number of Silicon Valley engineers who lean the same way except maybe for his stance on guns.
He has everyone on his show. “Crazy” people to the mainstream. And in any case it’s his show you’re free to not give it patronage.
In fairness though, a lot of Alex Jones's detractors probably have never _actually_ watched him though, aside from selected clips from their media outlet of choice (likely bashing him); so I think having him on something somewhat mainstream like Joe Rogan's podcast gives the average person a chance to listen to him and decide for themselves that he's batshit crazy without having it spoonfed to them by another source.
