Pundits want Joe Rogan banished
Spotify pressured despite podcaster's apologies


Joe Rogan has unwittingly become public enemy No. 1 in recent weeks, at least among some.

Aging artists like Neil Young and Joni Mitchell have fueled a boycott movement against Spotify while top Biden officials like White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki and U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy have urged the streaming giant to do more to crack down on so-called COVID "misinformation."

Political operatives have also been digging up Rogan's most offensive comments in the podcast archives, including a compilation of him using the N-word, to further attack his character.

Despite his various apologies and Spotify continuing to stand by its $100 million business partner, the efforts to deplatform Rogan have not slowed down. And no one has come after him harder than CNN.

"CNN taking a pious stance against Rogan, against free speech is craptastically fascinating to watch because by doing so, you don't see very much from the network on the U.S. southern border, if anything, on murders being at a 25-year high per the FBI or on inflation impacting every American," Fox News contributor Joe Concha told Fox News Digital. "If they covered inflation and kitchen table issues with the same vigor and passion they did with Joe Rogan or Donald Trump, they might actually be seen as a news organization."

CNN's left-wing media correspondent Brian Stelter has been a vocal critic of Rogan, complaining how Americans trust the podcast star more than his own network. -- excerpt, rest at link above --
