I've watched a few Joe Rogan episodes, on a range of subjects that are usually not overtly political but almost always interesting—from the CIA connection to the Manson family to possible sites of Atlantis.
It's clear they're going after Rogan not for some journalistic shortcoming, but because he gave Dr Robert Malone access to his massive audience. The supremely well-informed, quiet-spoken Malone spent three hours delivering an absolutely excoriating critique of the pandemic policy of the past twenty months. The government lies, the media manipulation, the persecution of doctors, the bogus "science", it went on and one -- and Malone took no prisoners. We in the West were subjected to by far the worst propaganda campaign in modern history -- and Malone demolished it. No wonder they hate Malone, no wonder they hate Joe Rogan. That's one genie they can't get back in the bottle though.
Totally agree, Jim Kavanaugh.. plus, very interesting, as I learned yesterday (from AFLDS--Americas Front Line Doctors-- publication, Front Line News, Jeff Kindler "accomplished executive started working as a senior advisor to Blackstone," (when, not sure?) then in 2021 Blackstone forged the partnership with Hipgnosis, who has 50% ownership/interest to Neil Young's songs.. Interesting connection here is that this same Mr. Jeff Kindler was the previous (how long ago?) Chairman and CEO of Pfizer. Well, well. Since Phizer expects $65 billion in sales for '21 and '22, about 80% of their entire revenue, says Front Line, we might expect Mr. Kindler, via Blackstone, via Hipgnosis to be advising Mr. Young.. Ya think? So then Mr. Young not so unhappy about forfeiting the $300,000 he loses from Spotify.
Also, perhaps this entire revelation by Front Line/AFLDS, may already have been addressed here; haven't read all the responses of your post, Mr. Kavanagh, which was just now shared by a friend via email. Perhaps it's already being speculated upon in Children's Health Defense and other excellent publications, the Kindler/Pfizer connection.
Nice piece. Sad to see some of the left (eg from the PSL - who are for mandates by the way) try to not fight against censorship in this case because it is equivalent to defending Rogan who is an "ist" or guilty of some "ism".
Began following you after listening to you on sputnik and it is obvious that you do not get asked to give analysis regarding covid policies, interesting observation.
Thank. Yes, I'm askew most of the left on mandates, et. al. Glad to see Max Blumenthal and Jimmy Dore holding strong. Sputnik hosts do avoid me on Covid (though I know at least one is on the same page). Is interesting to see lefites squirm on Rogan. I've pointed out to Counterpunch editors that it's no different than Prop or Not wanting CP removed from Google or their servers. Had some Twitter exchanges without clear answers.

Thanks Jim. Excellent piece.
