Post Reported for: Misleading title
OP's pot is contested.
Doesn't seem that way to me. Seems like he's trying to be, as hilarious as this term is, fair and balanced.
He isn't and has never been a right wing figure, he's a bizarrely popular drug addict.
In an odd coincidence, this sentence and sentiment could apply to Jordan Peterson as well...
(I know, I know, it was a low blow)
Arguably, but in my opinion Peterson makes a huge show of pretending to be on the right. Of the two, he is a grifter, and Rogan is not.
Has he bent the knee or is this just what the guardian have said and you believed them for some reason?
As much as I detest Instagram it's really not that hard to go and hear the whole statement from the horse's mouth

exposing specious arguments to sunlight tends to do that
I literally said nothing about an apology and just told someone to get their info from the source, with a link, rather than trusting others or asking pointless rhetorical questions.
Take the complaints to the OP if you still have an axe to grind, bitching at the person providing the direct info isn't very helpful.
He did not exactly bend the knee, he said he will have people on with different views and that he would research subjects better.
What someone should point is that the left holds Rogan at a higher standard then they do with Fauci. Is that not insane? A podcast host vs the guy in charge of the pandemic. They are holding Rogan at a higher standards then CNN or the White House.
How is "trying harder to get people with differing opinions on" bending the knee? That means allowing all sides to be heard, which is what free speech is for.
Or is it doing his "best to make sure I’ve researched these topics"? Because that's barely saying anything.
If Joe wanted to go full troll, he would start brining on people with much more extreme views such as Catherine Austin Fitts and others from the "jabs are nanomachine mind control" perspective, then say he did it to counter Robert Malone's mainstream opinions.
Or he could just "find" Gavin McInnes' number again.

It doesn't look like he really cucked out. He defends having Dr. Robert Malone and Dr. Peter McCollough on his podcast.
The only part that sounds even remotely like cucking is
"I'm not trying to promote misinformation, I'm not trying to do anything controversial, I'm just trying to have regular conversations with these people."
"My pledge to you is that I will do my best to balance out these more controversial viewpoints with other people's perspectives so that we can maybe find a better view. I don't just want to just show the contrary opinion to what the prevailing narrative is. I want to show all kinds of opinions so that we can figure out what's going on - and not just about COVID, about health, about fitness, wellness, the state of the world itself. "
Doesn't matter. He shouldn't have announced anything that could have been interpreted as a course change at all. He already had Gupta on, who was a car crash, and that faggot Josh Szeps (who incidentally has been the ONLY example of blatant covid misinformation on Rogan's show, when he stated that the jabs don't cause more myocarditis in <40s men - proven false), so why respond to this disingenuous censorship assault as if it's rooted in good faith in any way? Now the MSM will relay his announcement to the normieherd as a 'pledge to do better', so it looks like he's in a contritional phase, making him less persuasive to the sheep.
Neil Young is a mindless pawn being mobilised by Warner Music Group (who own his music rights - he doesn't) as a weapon in corporate informational warfare. People all over the globe are hearing news reports, about how the fucking World Health Organisation is signal boosting an ancient hypocritical hippie singer in an attempt to shut Rogan's show up, that's how desperate and manipulative they are. World Health Organisation. Neil Young. Joe Rogan. How the fuck do those even fit together in any sane sentence? The fact that Rogan responds to this as if it's just some thought-provoking conversation starter, as opposed to the dystopian mindfuckery it is, is a prime example of how fucking stupid Rogan can be.
Yeah, that's exactly what we need.
A three hour podcast with some "expert" spouting the same BS talking points that we are bombarded with constantly from every other media source.
Yeah I won't be ever seeing any of the podcasts he will have with known corrupt establishment "experts" like Tony Fauci, Peter Hotez, Eric Topol, Ashish Jha, Vivek Murthy and Sanjay Gupta.
We don't need to see anymore of that shit at all.
I think Rogan is foolishly trying to chase good PR by saying he will also host interviews with the establishment propagandists.
I don't think he will stop hosting interesting guests who are censored on other platforms like Dr. Malone but he will foolishly start having establishment shills on as well to look like he hosts a wide variety of viewpoints.
Not a full knee bend, but still pretty bad imo.
He's very sorry that Spotify is facing manufactured outrage from a group of religious zealots? Pretty pathetic.
I mean, if it was a friend or a smaller organization, I would be sorrowful if an outrage mob was sicced on them because of my actions.
So, I understand the sentiment even if I think it's misapplied.
Are you a Kotaku writer? This post title is misleading.
Money talks, bullshit walks.
Who made the guy with a huge contract from a company in bed with feminism our savior?
Well, I guess our last bastion of honest discussion is not going to be so honest any more.
