Joe Rogan Takedown Bid Seen as Coordinated Attack
The effort to take down podcast king Joe Rogan is increasingly being seen as a coordinated campaign to silence an influential figure with a massive audience and an independent streak.
That campaign seemingly started in mid-January, when a group of scientific experts sent a letter to Spotify accusing Rogan of spreading misinformation on his podcast episodes about COVID-19. It escalated this week with the emergence on social media of a video splicing together racist language Rogan had used in the past, drawing fierce reactions from both Rogan’s defenders and detractors.
Social media users and political figures, including GOP pollster Frank Luntz, raised the prospect this week of a connection between the latest broadside against Rogan and a left-wing political action committee known for its social media sensationalism.
MeidasTouch, a Democratic super PAC that sprang up to oppose former President Donald Trump, has denied involvement with the distribution of a montage showing, without context, Rogan using the N-word.
But its close relationship with a Twitter account that first amplified the Rogan montage has raised doubts that Rogan’s troubles sprang up organically. (Read more from “Joe Rogan Takedown Bid Seen as Coordinated Attack” HERE)
