Joe Rogan Cancels the Cancelers

That’s like claiming the various Lincoln Project podcasts are right wing!

free speech includes criticism and insults. People are allowed to dislike others.

No, not really. We have real world historical examples from the USSR to the CCP of the left not tolerating free speech.

It’s you.

You’re the one lying.

You do it so often here you don’t even realize you’re doing it.

You might think you are center. You might think you listen to left leaning podcasts. You might even think you are sane and the rest of us are delusional. But think about that. What’s more likely. That we are all here just to fuck with you. Or that you are the problem.

You are so delusional.

And if not delusional, you’re outright lying.

What the fuck is your deal?

C’mon man! Saying you listen to ‘used to claim to be left but now just openly crackpots’ in no way helps your case.

Are you willing to give a week of your airtime to try something different?

One week. None of your YouTubers. Instead something actually different.

First ‘straight news’:

Short ones:
FT News Briefing
The World in Brief from the Economist
The Intelligence from the Economist
Politico Daily Playbook

Longer:
The World
BBC Newshour
PBS Newshour
The Daily from The NY Times

Also, the Sunday shows are always worth a listen, even if just for the guests. Fox News Sunday is gonna line up most with your priors but as someone who listens to it every week it is legitimate news even if there is a slant.

If the news is too boring and you need some opinions below are some podcasts I think could be a good starting place for you (as in aren’t hyper partisan or far left). I’d start with the Bulwark; it is moderate right. Hacks on Tap is one R operative and one D operative. Politics War Room is moderate left.

Dore is a grifter who goes where the money is.
He pretended to be left when he thought it would get his foot in the door with the standup community, then switched to right-wing when he saw it was a good con.
I wish these fucking people would just come out and say "I don't believe in anything but my bank account. But you know what? Neither should you. Nothing means anything. Fuck everything. Get everything you can get before you're a corpse".
That's an awful way to view the world, but at least a lot of people have books and podcasts that are up front about it.
The whole "oh, I'm liberal but hate Democrats" scam is just obnoxious.

Rogan is the same philosophically as Dore, but he can't be seen bending the knee to the GOP because he has that "rebel" image to maintain.

Never listen to Mr. Sunday Movies.
Used to like his Easter egg videos, even if I didn't like his sneering undertones.
I have text blogs that find that stuff now. Don't need him.

Robert Meyer Burnett started mainlining "anti-SJW" shit from Doomcock.
Fuck him.

Bill Maher licks Jordan Peterson's taint.
And he was a doomsdayer in 2020 and 2022.
Fuck him.

Translation: “they don’t pass my personal purity test.”

Yeah, nobody's a grifter on the right at all.
Not even George Santos.

Oh, and Jimmy Dore did an episode of Alex Jones kissing his feet.
He spit in Alex Jones mouth when he was "liberal", but has since groveling apologized.
Thing is, Alex Jones WANTS you to spit in his mouth.
He wants you to kick him, punch him, whatever, because he'll use it.
That shit helps him.
Dore needn't apologize. Best thing that ever happened to him.

Oh look. He found a way to rationalize not working, earning or being productive. I, for one, am shocked.

If where your money comes from matters fuck all, direct gay bondage porn, and sell crack.
Show us all how it's done, Mister Businessman.

I'm already showing you how it's done. It involves more than useless commentary, so you're not interested.

Tate says you're a homo. Who am I supposed to believe?

Wonder what he'd say about a 50 year old virgin that lives with his parents

You sell food.
You're the worst homo of all.

Think he'd be happy with my paycheck and dividends!

Weirdly @Diacanu’s response to this post was seen and replied to by @Billy but he seems to have missed the real deal.

So *bump* and again, can you do it? Go a whole week listening to news and not your YouTubers?

Not enough shit talking on those shows to keep his interest.

neither of those are actually "left" in practice though...

try to find an example of left within existing democratic countries, otherwise you're just contrasting macintosh apples to the apple macintosh.

No true Scotsman.

Remember all the Communist countries that got that way with too many social programs?
Like Cuba...oh...violent uprising.
Like Russia...oh...violent uprising.
Like China...oh...violent uprising.
Like Vietnam...oh...violent uprising.
Like South Korea...oh...violent uprising.
Like Cambodia..oh...violent uprising AGAIN!
Goddammit! God-fucking-DAMN-it!!!

Yeah, but the pink hairs might be plotting the violent uprising!!!
*Crying girl meme*
...yeah, no.

*bump*

If they are "leftists", what left leaning ideals are they advancing?

I’m not going down gaslight road with you, everyone knows communism and socialism are left wing ideologies.

Says the guy who parrots "Biden is bad for democracy" shit straight from RFK Jr's stupid face.

But it’s the truth, Biden is bad.

And so are the vaccines!
Let your kids get measles! It's good for them!
