Well, as I said, he hosts Leftists, but he does so rarely when compared to the number of conspiratorial minded nutjobs on his shows, which I think he's figured out is good for ratings. I stopped watching him sometime in 2016 when he went ballistic over the notion that Trump was somehow worse than Hillary. He has a deep seated hatred towards the Clintons and he believes a lot of the BS about the Clinton Foundation.

And as I said, if he were against all institutions then he could easily make very good podcasts lambasting the daily lies propagated by FOX, but he doesn't do that because he understands that isn't what his listeners want. They want to hear about how CNN is untrustworthy. They want to hear his good friend Alex Jones, and all the crackpot doctors he gives airtime to.

And you can contrast his meekish demeanor response to Candace Owens - he nicely told her she wrong about Climate Change but never put her feet to the fire over denying science - with his jackass response to Dr. Sanjay Gupta, insisting he had to denounce his employer or else he's dishonest when all CNN did was state the truth. There is another podcaster called Timcast who is basically a Rogan wannabe, and he is basically Alex Jones dressed as Antifa. He rides on Rogan's coat tails, frequently piggybacking his podcast subjects on whatever Rogan said to own the libs.

If anyone wants to get a sense of his guest list this site shows upcoming and recent guests on the JRE:

https://jrelibrary.com/upcoming-guests/

I think it’d be interesting if he were to have some hard Leftists on his show just so people could get a sense of what they’re about. I feel compelled to re-state that I think Communists are imbeciles, and Socialists aren’t my cup of tea, but their voices should be heard especially if space is being given to Conservatives. I also feel compelled to state that hard Rightists should be heard, even though I believe they’re just the flipside to Communists, dangerous and deluded in my opinion.

The three remaining guests who aren't UFC fighters this month are:

James Lindsay: His Twitter bashes Sotomayor for attending oral arguments remotely. "Sotomayor attempts to use uninformed intolerance to renormalize the the Supreme Court "

Jordan Peterson: Notorious crackpot psychologist who has been on his show numerous times already bashing the pandemic response.

Maajid Nawaz: A kid and British author. His Twitter shows he clearly hates COVID restrictions of any kind. Gee, wonder what he's going to talk about.

Again, he actively seeks out these people who basically repeat the same narrative. The government is lying, COVID isn't that bad, mitigation measures are meaningless, etc. Just because he occasionally hosts former wrestlers or musicians doesn't mean he's diverse.

Interestingly, the only time I've actually heard Jordan Peterson is on Michael Shermer's podcast.

And Shermer is certainly nice to him, even if he doesn't buy in to everything Peterson teaches.

I never said Rogan was diverse on the Covid issue. I was just responding to your claim that "He's never once hosted people to bash FOX News or Trump", when even with my limited exposure to him that doesn't ring true.

Who has he hosted that bashes Trump? Rogan himself has said Trump lies, but he blows it off as just part of his eccentric personality or whatever. It is always dismissed as "everyone does it". Bashing Trump has never been the focal point or purpose of any of his podcasts. But he'll spend forever and a day still talking about the Clintons.

Trump came up quite a bit in the interview with Bernie Sanders, and never in a positive way. I don't know if that qualifies as "bashing", but there you go.

Is Shermer ever not nice to a guest? In Peterson's case, he has reasons to be sympathetic -- they are both unabashed critics of the "woke left."

I would be surprised if Shermer was ever not nice. He's about as milquetoast as it gets.
