Why awful? Truly curious.

joe rogan says awful things, and contributed to a lot of misinformation about a wide range of topics including neo nazi protests/transgender people/vaccines/pandemic... the list goes on and on. In general he gives a platform to a lot of people that say offensive/harmful/incorrect things and he does not challenge their actions or words but encourages it.

"Rogan is not capable of holding Zuckerberg's feet to the fire on anything of consequence." Does every place needs to hold someone's feet to the fire, every interview needs to be an adversarial interview?

Something tells me you haven't listened to his show.

I also think Mark's platform is far more guilty for spreading misinformation (including those from government sources) and radicalizing people than Joe Rogan's conversational show featuring a random comedian or scientist.

It is telling that Rogan keeps referring to the NYPost, a conservative tabloid rag [0], as a respectable paper and reliable source. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Post

I don't think the hate or admiration for Rogan is warranted. Rogan appears to accidentally be a good interviewer: he's amicable, credulous, and lets his guests talk. This can be great for learning a lot about a guest really feels, or at least how a guest really wants to present themselves. However, if the guest makes a bad point, Rogan is unlikely to notice it. (the same goes if the host makes a point in bad faith.) And arguably, the audience may not notice it if neither Rogan nor his guest highlight it. Is this the end of the world? No, not really. Another news publication somewhere else will ask the questions that Rogan cannot. And, in a perfect world, there's value in both kinds of interview: the adversarial interview, and the softball long-form interview. In principle, the softball long-form interview could actually be very damning when compared against other sources of information, such as the adversarial interview.

In a less polarized world, I suspect that Rogan would never have been famous in the first place.
