The columnist and author of the British curator Douglas Murray called Joe Rogan in a recent episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” for the podcast host to platform guests with “marginal views” that have disinfreed under the guise of “simply asking questions”.
Murray appeared in the episode of Thursday of “The Joe Rogan Experience” alongside Rogan and the actor Dave Smith, who embarked on a heated debate with Murray on the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Murray has not only used its appearance on the popular podcast and increasingly influential to debate Smith. He also used it to question Rogan for his habit of inviting guests in his show who house “counter-historical” opinions.
“I just think we should get him out right away,” Murray told Rogan. “I think you have opened the door to a lot of people who now have a large platform that has thrown back historical things of a very dangerous genre.”
Murray argued that Rogan should pay more attention to platform customers who share opinions on world conflicts and world history without being experts on the issues in question. The British cultural commentator specifically called on the said trend of guests to assert that they are “simply asking questions” when they actually promote disinformation or dangerous conspiracy theories.
“If you launch a lot of s-there, there is a moment when” I only raise questions “is no longer a valid thing,” said Murray. “You don’t ask any questions. You tell people something. “
Rogan has attempt that he does not choose his guests according to their personal beliefs but of his interest in them. “I don’t think about it that way,” said the host of the Podcast. “I just think:” I would like to talk to this person. »»
Murray is not the first to criticize Rogan for his selection of guests over the years. The podcast host’s trend to focus on conspiracy theories and interview the conspiracy theorists was called by many figures that are both important and not, especially during the recent electoral cycles of America and the cocovio pandemic.
Rogan has never moved away from wading in political questions with his guests on his podcasts. Towards the end of 2024, he even approved Donald Trump on Kamala Harris for the president. The comments of Murray, therefore, come at a time when many discuss the dangers of actors and artists who become traditional platforms for political and cultural ideas that do not always hold a factual, historical or moral examination.
