This is pretty strange.

Not strange at all. Very predictable. Joe has been getting crap from lefties for a while for not having enough of them on. He's giving in.

I even saw people on YouTube saying "maybe Joe is starting to see the light" when he had Cornel West on. What they don't understand is he's not a partisan, he's a soft ball interviewer. He'll throw the same soft balls to Ben Shapiro that he will to Bernie Sanders. But he manages to make interesting conversations out of it more often than not.

Yeah

He’s like the an upgraded Larry King.

I thought it was strange to see Sanders on a millennials podcast. Somewhat like if you saw FDR on TV.

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.
