He doesn't need to be 100% in on the act and it depends how much you get for trashing his rep vs keeping him running in a controlled fashion. Malone and McCullough were doing interviews and talking to politicians long before they were talking to Rogan - now the fact that they talked to Rogan is the blackest mark on their rep, in the MSM. Same goes for anyone else whose appearance was vanished in these 70 deletions of toxic racist interviews. Same goes for the rep of dissident doctors like Vinay Prasad who weren't even on Rogan's show, just defended his points on social media. If you were running a pro-vaxx marketing campaign you might consider these outcomes to be well worth a $100m spend and Rogan's rep in the gutter.
Rogan is ultimately the one who validates the narrative by apologising or not. At a certain point you reach a level of stupidity or cowardice that is ethically indistinguishable from malice.
They wouldn't be taking him down if he was controlled opposition.
