And lets people spread fake news and stupid theories.

Just because they are "interesting" they should not get a free promo.

That's precisely what people like about it. Anyone can come on his show. No matter how batshit crazy. Many people don't want to be coddled and protected from viewpoints other people have decided are fake news or stupid. They can make up the balance themselves.

That's your opinion. Most guests have a wealth of knowledge that shouldn't be discounted outright.

Who defines what's "Fake"? Who defines what's stupid?

I love it when people parrot what they heard - what misinformation? Do you mean the Robert Kennedy stuff? I can have my own strong views that the vaccines were useful and still enjoy content - if you just consume what you hear and relay it of course you shouldn't be around "fake news and stupid theories". Saying that 99% of Rogans podcasts are not like this.
