> As for the employees, they could contact Rogan and either ask to come on the show to discuss what they find so offensive.

If you think that somebody is spreading misinformation and is not arguing in good faith, why on earth would you discuss things on a platform where that person controls the editing? That sounds like a recipe for giving somebody the air of legitimacy while having no chance of convincing anybody.

Except Rogan’s podcast is full length and unedited, which is exactly why he chose the format.

They do cut things out at times. Which is also why they don't love stream it anymore. They needed to be able to cut out certain things. Though I don't know what their criteria is.

That’s not true. The reason they stopped live streaming is because sketchy channels were cutting clips mid stream and re-posting. Essentially pirating the content to make a bunch of cash before they had the opportunity to release the official clips.

Regardless of the reason, Rogan has told guests that they can cut out things if necessary since they don't stream live anymore.

Why is Spotify Spectrum ERG the authority on misiformation and good faith? Maybe they are mistaken about some things.

Have they even accused JR of bad faith? Presenting their case to a friendly JR on JRE is not the same as a kangaroo debate against a Ben Shapiro type.
