Joe Rogan’s use of racial slurs adds to pressure on Spotify
... Professor Wihbey also stated: "His comments were clearly racist." What I want to know, is why AP considers Professor Wihbey an expert on what is, and is not "racist."
From what I've seen, Joe Rogan was quoting other people when he used the term, not just throwing it out himself.
But it doesn't matter. This is about censorship and attacking people and ideas they don't like. They've hated Joe Rogan all along. He isn't one of them, and he can't be controlled - at least up to now. They're thrilled with this chance to attack and try to weaken him over ''covid misinformation''. If they can lie and spin something he said into something else, they'll do it. If they can shut others down by convincing them to self-censor after they see what happened to Rogan, they'll do that.
It's not just politics and the major news media outlets aligning with a single political party, it's worse. It's unamerican, and an attack on Free Speech.
To say Joe Rogan was using the N word, and then pretend that's just who he is is outrageous. It's also why we call them Fake News.
