Always found it funny how admitting that Joe is a good interviewer is some type of a concession.
He’s probably the highest paid interviewer on the planet, of course he’s good at what he does! If he hadn’t found the ire of the online progressive crowd by letting on some unsavories, he’d probably be regarded super positively across the board. It’s crazy how many times I’ve seen web-activists go for blood with this guy and come up empty handed. Why is it hard for people to admit he’s just a really good podcaster?

I don't know. I didn't "admit" it; I just said it.
Yes my apologies - that wasn't aimed at you specifically, just a poorly phrased observation.

He is a good podcaster, but he has a habit of publishing misinformation also, which his audience seem not to scrutinise.
In that instance, doing that actually exposed it quite well, though. Jordan Peterson is able to respond off the cuff, so a reasonable percentage of the audience didn't walk away having assimilated the interviewer's version of his position.
The subsequent Joe Rogan interview of Jordan Peterson was illuminating. Joe Rogan is, despite all odds, such a good interviewer, because he listens and engages, and only occasionally challenges.
