Malone, who has been banned from Twitter for spreading Covid misinformation, claimed “mandates of an experimental vaccine are explicitly illegal” and said the US government was “out of control”.īoth men were criticised for promoting several baseless conspiracy theories, including the false claim that hospitals are financially incentivised to falsely diagnose deaths as having been caused by Covid-19, and Malone’s assertion that world leaders had hypnotised the public into supporting vaccines. The 76-year-old Canadian singer objected to the music streaming giant Spotify giving a platform to Rogan, 54, who has been accused of promoting falsehoods about Covid vaccines.Įarlier this month, Rogan invited Dr Robert Malone, credited with a role in developing mRNA vaccine technology, on the show.
Last week, Rogan, a martial arts enthusiast and one-time Bernie Sanders-endorser, collided with the rock veteran Neil Young. The Joe Rogan Experience podcast – the vehicle for his enormous wealth and power – intersperses comedy, politics, criticism of the media, interviews and discourses on topics ranging from cage-fighting to psychedelics and quantum mechanics. He appears committed to some forms of social justice but is amenable to conservatives. He is sometimes left-leaning but says he detests identity politics and political correctness.
Now he’s one of the most powerful figures in American media, though often little acknowledged or actively shunned by the country’s coastal elites.
