Well I don't think there is a right-leaning equivalent either, in the sense that there really isn't any other "Joe Rogan" kind of guy out there, it's a singular, unique show. Besides the format itself, if one wants to find counterpoints or different stances to the ones presented in his show I'd like to learn how not to find those, it seems to me they are everywhere.

The author points out that Rogan (who I agree is not partisan) frequently has guests that the left loathe but rarely has guests that the left like and/or love.
Rogan often has very left leaning guests including scientists, authors, and politiciana. They just get less coverage. For example, Rogan had Bernie Sanders as a guest and openly endorsed him.
Is Joe Rogan really right-wing? Or does he just have his own opinions that dont line up exactly with the narrow railroad tracks of leftist thought. And because he's so popular that makes him a threat and a target.
