leftists are completely taking over every facet of the media. one of the media sites that covers mma is now owned by VOX and is the one pushing to "cancel" colby covington because his support of trump by contacting ufc sponsors and causing trouble. You better believe they will be coming out with hit pieces on dana white soon because he backed up free speech and also supports trump.

Yeah I'm sure his contract contains a provision allowing douchey social justice warrior employees to have the right to edit his shows if they think content is problematic (new least favorite word).

GTFO.

For Spotify, the decision to offer some concessions may have only emboldened demands for wide-scale editorial oversight.

Same for CNN, MSNBC, Fox News, etc.

No one is censoring them.

but on the other hand you have highly powerful people like Joe Rogan spreading just straight misinformation at times and susceptible audiences (takes a look around) will eat it up because they don’t know any better.

So in other words, the exact same thing 90% of media outlets do?

The employees also demanded the ability to add trigger warnings, corrections, and references to fact-checked articles on topics discussed by Rogan in the course of his multi-hour discussions.

Did Spotify or Rogan not see this coming?

The fact that Spotify employees are going to strike because the company they work for refuses to censor the words of someone who runs opposite of their beliefs is both comical and frightening.

And come someone say down with the #20percent?!?! $120,000 a year? GTFO of here.

Modern progressives fricking LOVE censorship.

Spotify employees were demanding direct editorial oversight over the recently-acquired Joe Rogan Experience podcast. That would include the ability to directly edit or remove sections of upcoming interviews, or block the uploading of episodes deemed problematic. The employees also demanded the ability to add trigger warnings, corrections, and references to fact-checked articles on topics discussed by Rogan in the course of his multi-hour discussions.
