  1. peterson also then said the best way to mitigate climate change was to make the poor as wealthy as possible as fast as possible.. amd more. But you just left that out, then continued on to make a judgement on peterson character. this is why people are turning to podcasts instead.

  2. What could be a bigger misinformation campaign than trying to mandate a vaccine with unknown long term side effects on children who are at almost no risk of serious issues to Covid, when the vaccines have proven that they don't prevent transmission in the first place? Whatever Rogan has gotten wrong, it pales in comparison to that. Nobody pushing for mandates can claim to be ethical, scientific, or logical. Period.

  3. Well freedom of speech should end when you are causing potential harm, for example, you cannot talk in a podcast about how to build a bomb with house ingredients. But where do you draw the line?

  4. Neil Young MD and Joni Mitchell PhD judging the doctors and scientists… This isn't about misinformation it's about corrupt leaders trying to control speech when their faults are exposed.

  5. My god. I havnt seen this channel in some time, but now I know never to come back. How antagonistic and biased a position can you take on someone who represents free speech. I'm disappointed in Al Azeera. Poor, targeted, bought off reporting.

  6. This is a coordinated attack on free speech.i am so disappointed with the listening post for their stright up lie on joe rogan, if joe needs to be censored then what about CNN and fox and all the main stream media, they got us into wars and didnt cover the opioid crisis nor how kids financial futures have been plundered by banks and uni . they lie on purpose and are basically tabloid news that wouldn't fly any where else but dictatorship, a government mouth piece. just horrible coverage. that later of 200+ doctors is a lie, less than 30 of them are medical doctor and literally only one has ever treated a covid 19 patient, also Young doesnt own his own music its owned by a record lable owned by blackrock who ceo of pfizer is on their board.
