As a second point, Joe Rogan is now effectively an employee (or contractor if you prefer) of Spotify. Spotify is paying him a lot of money to run his show on the Spotify platform.
Informative isn't the same thing as factual. And you have to be an absolute moron to take anything John Oliver says seriously. But I don't think HBO should ban him. Funny how nobody is demanding John Oliver to be banned and yet, he involves himself in american politics and he's from britain. But even still, I don't think he should be banned.

Spotify is selling a product ( JRE ) on their platform. Doesn't make the product an employee of spotify. But maybe I'm wrong. But that makes it even worse since spotify employees are threatening a fellow employee.
You have crafted a new reality to justify your position and that’s exactly what Joe Rogan did when he falsely accused leftists of starting those fires.
Well I guess I'm a moron. I thought his show on the Uighurs in China was pretty informative.
> Funny how nobody is demanding John Oliver to be banned and yet, he involves himself in american politics and he's from britain.
John Oliver is an American citizen that lives in America. Who cares where he was born?
> For instance, Joe Rogan literally just spread a bunch of misinformation about the wildfires (https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/18/media/joe-rogan-apologizes/in...).
Funny how you linked cnn, a major source of misinformation itself.
> Why shouldn't the New York Times fire or disciple a columnist with the exact same factual track record as Joe Rogan?
Is Joe Rogan an employee of Spotify? I don't think he works for spotify. So your example doesn't work.
Lets play a game, between the jre, cnn and nytimes, who pushes the least amount of misinformation? If you are honest, the answer is the jre. Between the jre, cnn and the nytimes, who pushes the least amount of misinformation to start wars and kill countless innocent people. The answer is the jre once again.
"Disinformation", "misinformation" and other propaganda terms are so readily adopted by fans of misinformation/disinformation.
