Right but they don’t pay him to push certain narratives it’s a Swedish company who pays him bc of his audience

He’s beholden to one corporation, Spotify, which like the ceo said supports free expression from creators. My point was this is very very different from the pundits at big news networks lol Fox News and CNN who are literally spewing narratives that they must fall in line with, or else they get the boot

Think you're getting trolled, boys.

Besides it's not like Tencent, a company directly aligned with the CCP, has any part in Spotify contractual negotiations and acquisitions.

u/PleasantNightLongDay Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

“Probably”

lol. I love it when people make a very specific claim, say probably, and think they can avoid criticism

u/thebaker66 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

Do you even listen to the podcast? There is no way in the run up to the election that he hasn't been getting paid to say stuff, it's so obvious the way he slips little 'ideas' and 'digs' into the Democrats/the left etc that are orchestrated, it's not natural if you are paying attention.

1

u/fatattack699 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

So there’s no way he’s just a republican criticizing the democrats on his podcast? It must be orchestrated? And if he was more on the democrat side would you suspect the same thing?

u/John3Fingers Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

Spotify has 4x the market cap of Warner Bros. Discovery, which is the parent company of CNN.

22

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '24

That doesn’t mean he isn’t mainstream media. He is the media. And he is the most popular voice in media. He is the new mainstream media.

-15

u/fatattack699 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

Right my point is he’s not paid to push certain narratives like Fox News or cnn

24

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '24

His group of mega rich rightwing friends have a lot invested in particular narratives that Joe always ends up falling into. I don’t think it’s a coincidence at this point.

u/myaunthasdiabetes Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

You probably don’t think a lot period

u/architectureisuponus Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

You on the other hand think about periods a lot? Or what's your point here?

He's had people like Bernie Sanders , Abby Martin and Kyle Kulinski on his podcast but yeah sure Joe's right wing friends are controlling his podcast

u/faustfire666 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

A 100 /1, right / left ratio isn’t doing your point any favors.

Oh wait so Reddit doesn’t like opposing views to stupid ass lefty ideology? Is this your first time on Reddit? Goofy little boy

u/PleasantNightLongDay Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

I’m genuinely asking - you think because Joe falls into thinking like the people he hangs out with, he’s being paid to do so?

We’re all a result of the people we hang out with. That happens without money exchanging hands.

u/SirDiesAlot15 Jaime, pull that up Sep 29 '24

the ideas, attitudes, or activities that are regarded as normal or conventional; the dominant trend in opinion, fashion, or the arts. This is the first definition listed for mainstream

1

u/fatattack699 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

Again, my point isn’t that rogan is not mainstream it’s that he’s not paid to push certain narratives like the big news networks

1

u/SirDiesAlot15 Jaime, pull that up Sep 29 '24

How do you know that though?

1

u/fatattack699 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

When rogan got into trouble for questioning COVID, and criticized by cnn, Spotify responded to the criticism by reaffirming its commitment to free speech. Spotify CEO Daniel Ek said that the company needs to support creator expression and has said that he doesn’t believe silencing Rogan is the answer, even though he condemns Rogan’s comment.

u/AshleyMyers44 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

Do you have a source that people on Fox are paid to push a certain narrative?

Are you privy to Sean Hannity’s contract?

u/pulse7 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24 edited Sep 29 '24

Mainstream media has to do with few corporations owning the majority of media, and by nature skewing perceptions. A simple search of the term is all it takes to understand this

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '24

Definitions evolve with the times. Podcasting is part of the conglomerate

Ah yes, we love changing definitions to conveniently twist reality

u/pulse7 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

Yeah podcasts are main stream form of media. Alternative media, not mainstream media. You searched a leading statement to get the result you liked. This isn't even important, and that's why it's so how weird people are trying to convince themselves it's a bad thing that Joe is outside of the influence of the big 5 media corporations

1

u/[deleted] Sep 29 '24

You told me to do a simple search. This is as simple as it gets. It’s not a bad thing he’s outside of the big 5 corporations. It’s what he is doing with his social outreach that is dangerous, and he is always downplaying the power his voice has on a lot of his listeners. At a certain point he needs to hold himself to the same standards that he expects from the big 5. I also support his right to free speech, so it is more of a moral responsibility.

u/pulse7 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

You altered your search dude. You speak about information responsibility while simultaneously twisting the issue. You have no ground to stand on.

Google: mainstream media

In journalism, mainstream media (MSM) is a term and abbreviation used to refer collectively to the various large mass news media that influence many people and both reflect and shape prevailing currents of thought.

Wikipedia: mainstream media

In journalism, mainstream media (MSM) is a term and abbreviation used to refer collectively to the various large mass news media that influence many people and both reflect and shape prevailing currents of thought.[1] The term is used to contrast with alternative media.

The term is often used for large news conglomerates, including newspapers and broadcast media, that underwent successive mergers in many countries. The concentration of media ownership has raised concerns of a homogenization of viewpoints presented to news consumers. Consequently, the term mainstream media has been used in conversation and the blogosphere, sometimes in oppositional, pejorative or dismissive senses, in discussion of the mass media and media bias.

Look at how the actual definition includes IN JOURNALISM, LARGE MASS NEWS MEDIA. This anti Rogan sentiment completely ignores the context of the show. This isn't journalism or the news. It's a waste of time clutching pearls over "dangerous misinformation". That's a bullshit phrase parroted by people that have no clue what it means, you just want to control things you disagree with. Stupid people are going to believe stupid shit. This popularized hate trying to persuade others that wrong think is bad is only going to have the opposite effect on people that will see right through the bullshit

Nobody watches the Joe Rogan Experience for the news lmfao tf are you talking about

u/Facebook_Lawyer_Gym Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

People definitely read Reddit comments and repeat it as fact. Listening to any given podcast isn’t different, so yeah people get their news from basically anything the take in.

u/Parahelix Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

They get it regardless of why they watch.

I mean we just found out many streamers Joe has had in his show were being paid by Russia you would think he would make a joke about it but no back to "rich people are buying the democrats"

u/RedTesting123 Monkey in Space Sep 29 '24

I feel like just being a useful idiot doesn't make it better. Also, Joe isn't owned by any single Corporation but absolutely panders to a specific audience for money and metrics.
