I thought the writer's point was to not stiffle discussions for 2 reasons ....
One, even if 90% is BS, if the 10% re myocarditist among healthy young from vax is a discussion worth having then it should be talked about and not thrown out with the bath water of the other 90% conspiracy BS
Two, good way to combat BS false info is to not censor it but to rebut it. Now it seems he thinks people will be objective and intellectually honest but if someone is an anti vaxxer and sees the Rogan podcast of these 2 whack jobs, no amount of clearly written logical rebuttal will be considered by the anti vaxxer.
Also by censoring you create publicity. Alice Cooper wrote a conservative activist a thank you letter bc he thought her push to have his song "schools out" censored made the song more popular.

The article wasnt about whether Joe Rogan is right or important ... just that stifling discussion is generally bad. Some of the discussion may actually be worth having and the other crap can be rebutted if need be.
This whole "media is the enemy" thing seems so dumb and targeted for the most gullible of our country.
if you need to be told Don Lemon and Tucker Carlson have agendas ... youre a fucking moron. If you believe some yokel's anecdotal facebook story about how covid is fake or the vax is bad for your health ... while being moribly obese and smoking cigarettes .. I hope you choke on a dick some time soon.
