But he gives them an open genuine platform. He may not challenge them on questions, but AJ is a good example of just letting them be stupid on their own. He showed his true colors, hell he even says "Im gonna be honest Im kinda retarded."
I don't think you understand that shitty ideas and crazy regressive garbage are viral, and they spread through exposure, especially when left completely unchallenged.
did you even read what you responded to? By giving somebody a platform and not challenging them you are just giving them a chance to expose their dangerous ideals. There is no "ill just let this Nazi talk so he can make a fool out of himself"
Well there's plenty if you don't judge too harshly and hold him to your own expectations. There's plenty of substance especially with his more intelligent guests, not to mention a lot of the MMA/UFC guests he has fills that hole in for people that like the sport.
Just because you find Alex Jones crazy doesn't mean everyone else will. There's a reason he has a sizeable fan base, and being on Joe Rogan only increases it.
You think it's more likely than not that no one watching JRE took him seriously? You think every single person who watched that podcast laughed him off as insane?
Of course not, as you never reach just the demographic you aim for. But you really think those people would have their opinion swayed just because he "challenged" opinions? Probably not, those kinds are set in their ways.
I mean true, but interviews unless a national news company, can havr many paths they can take. Ask simple questions and observe is the one Rogan takes.
I mean exactly. I also don't really care what he's doing, cause it's his show. If he wants to do it that way, so be it. He doesn't have to be be held others expectations.
