Some of the people he's had on, like, Steven Crowder, you can't just throw soft balls at without garnering some criticism. Their ideas are so far outside the realm of honest conversation.

Not if you’re just extracting information and exploring how the other person thinks.

Or if you want to see someone get their dick sucked.

It's seen by parts of the left as legitimizing some of these far right ideologies to segments of his young impressionable male audience.
The Alt-Right Pipeline and all that. I think it's a fair critique at least.

It is fair but I don’t think it’s his responsibility to do the critical thinking for his audience. Larry King had a friendly conversation with Manson. People got pissed off but that’s his style.

Larry King is a lot more neutral though, Rogan's an overexcited hype man.

I feel you.

Don’t you like everyone getting a voice though?

Of course, but I don't like elevating pseudointellectuals like Rogan as that gatekeeper.

the left is becoming borderline mccarthyist the way they categorize anyone who talks to anyone they disagree with as the enemy

Bunch of limp wristed ideological puritans
