No need to throw insults from behind a throwaway. Comparing Joe to a 24H news channel is apples and oranges.

People don't listen to Joe to know what happened yesterday. They tune in to hear about MMA, Comedians shooting shit, or for the guest's opinions.

Getting opinions straight from the source, be it an Elon Musk, Bernie Sanders, or even a Vaccine Skeptical doctor can be refreshing.

And Joe with all his flaws allows these people more time to express themselves than your regular gotcha interviews.


Joe is first and foremost an entertainer, just like Neil Young. People should be able to make up their own minds about what they listen to. Joe Rogan has said controversial things that aren't true, but so has Neil Young. Neither side should be trying to force the other to not be heard. That's how we end up in an echo chamber. Allowing both sides to speak gives people the option to form opinions on their own, and hopefully that pushes them to investigate the actual truth (let's not pretend that either Joe or Neil are scientists and take their word at face value).


You're only really informed if you listen and watch what you listen to, right?

Doing that is just listening to the priest in your head rather than the one in front of you.


I don't mind those sorts. They're a breath of fresh air and a fun time.

Anything but boring.
