Discussion: Media, The Press, Journalism, Cable News, Media Bias, and Other Media Issues

YouTube is a strange duck. It knows I watch Leftist media and pushed corporate news media and Right wing fringe like Walsh and Rogan on me.

 

It also tries to send me to some sketchy channels too that it knows I have absolutely no interest in. One video about a topic (pretty much any topic) and it has several suggestions on the right side related to that topic which are completely paranoid, conspiracy theory laden and lies.

LA Times - Jon Stewart calls 'overreaction' to Spotify's Joe Rogan debacle 'a mistake'

Dave Chappelle’s Intent Doesn’t Matter, Jon Stewart | IndieWire

Jon Stewart has lost his mind and morality on all that money and privilege he has accumulated in defending the racism and false conspiracy theories of the far right and their figures like Rogan and other trash 'comedians'. It's funny how 'comedians' whose entire shtick is trashing other people have the thinnest skin of all.

Gizmodo - Spotify Just Removed 70 Episodes of The Joe Rogan Experience—but Not That One
Amidst ongoing accusations that Spotify is allowing Joe Rogan to spread covid-19 misinformation on his podcast, the platform has removed dozens of episodes.

Pretty damn racist probably. There's clips circulating out there of years of Rogan's racism and also slurs he's said. I won't/can't post them even if I wanted to and I don't.

Closing the barn door after nearly all the horses ran away.

Just get rid of him entirely. His irresponsibility is not worth the hassle in the future.
