The 'Content Advisory' on Rogan Is on the Wrong Person but the Effort Is Already Backfiring

Both Spotify and Joe Rogan responded to the controversy that the left was pushing about his show, claiming it was misinformation. Spotify said they were going to put a content advisory on any discussions of COVID, pointing to other information about the virus.

Rogan responded that he didn’t have a problem with that. Why? Because he’s being honest and he has no issue with people seeing other information about it. That’s how you react when you have no issue.

But the liberal media and folks on the left want a “content advisory” on him because they’re afraid of being questioned. Why? Because what they have to say is so often wrong and should be questioned. Because as Rogan pointed out, what they often call “misinformation” months down the road then changes and they admit it’s fact. Because they’re not as honest as Rogan, who will admit when he’s wrong, and they’re not about a search for truth; they’re about an effort to control the narrative.

So when are they going to impose a content advisory on all the lies from CNN? Where is the content advisory on CNN with their lies about Joe Rogan taking “horse dewormer”? Where is the content advisory as MSNBC was contradicted by the very flames behind them as they talked about “peaceful protests”? Where is the content advisory on the years of lies about Russia collusion that manipulated so much of the public and has caused so much division? Talk about harmful lying.

Where is the content advisory on Joe Biden’s constant lies — from making up false stories about Amtrak conductors to his claim if you were vaccinated you couldn’t catch the virus? He hasn’t apologized or even admitted he was wrong about any of those stories.

The content advisory is on the wrong people — not the people who need to be questioned even more.

But the funny thing about those “content advisories.” When they originally started putting that stuff on music, it made people more interested in looking at it. If the powers that be don’t want you to see it, it tends to make you want to see it all the more. The controversy has made even more people look at Joe Rogan, then wonder what the heck the controversy is and doubt the media even more. So basically the left shot themselves in the foot with this effort and just made their effort to control the narrative more obvious.

It had this NY Times reporter raise the proper question here:

The problem isn’t Joe Rogan. The problem is with the liberal media.
