Liberals are determined to silence Joe Rogan.
He has the biggest podcast in the world, and legacy media outlets hate that fact.
And the Left’s plan to cancel Rogan just went up in smoke.
Joe Rogan’s move to Spotify is paying off in a major way.
Previously Rogan’s show had been on YouTube, which is owned by Google.
Had Rogan remained on YouTube, his show might have been canceled already.
Rogan has recently platformed physicians like Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Peter McCullough who have pushed back against the approved COVID narratives.
For that reason, a cohort of 270 doctors and scientists signed a letter pleading for Spotify to censor Rogan’s “misinformation” on the platform.
If Rogan had been on YouTube, the letter would have worked, but Spotify has thus far remained committed to free speech.
Now thousands of physicians and scientists are writing in support of Rogan.
16,000+ physicians challenge the 300 who currently accuse @JoeRogan and others of spreading misinformation. #PeterMcCullough @carolina_bonita https://t.co/HXgZSovrQc

The authoritarian mindset of the Left is on full display for all to see.
Instead of engaging in debate, they want to silence their opponents.
That became clear when Dr. Anthony Fauci of the NIAID and Francis Collins of the NIH conspired to smear the three doctors who created the Great Barrington Declaration, which argued for focused protection instead of draconian lockdowns.
Collins wrote to Fauci in an email:
“This proposal from the three fringe epidemiologists who met with the Secretary seems to be getting a lot of attention — and even a co-signature from Nobel Prize winner Mike Leavitt at Stanford. There needs to be a quick and devastating published takedown of its premises. I don’t see anything like that on line yet — is it underway?”
These “fringe” epidemiologists are Dr. Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford, Dr. Martin Kulldorff of Harvard, and Dr. Sunetra Gupta of Oxford.
Bhattacharya exposed Collins as a fraud by pointing out that he has been awarded several grants from Collins’s NIH.
Donald Trump exposed the corruption of several institutions, most notably the corporate press, but the institutional rot runs much deeper than the media.
Ever since 2016, the establishment has been attempting to claw back control by labeling any dissenting opinions as “misinformation.”
One of the doctors who argued for Spotify Rogan called the podcaster a “menace to public health.”
The Left no longer want to debate because they are losing the argument.
