1/ Much to say about Spotify/Rogan -- and I'm in no way diminishing importance of pressure here or destructive effects of Rogan's misinformation. BUT...I feel like media/scientific and medical communities/activitists seem to have totally forgotten about and/or ignore talk radio.
2/ All the pressure on Spotify sure is important and matters a lot. But, shouldn't their be equal if not more pressure on the major radio companies?
Right-wing radio wayyy bigger than Rogan, also worse in lots of ways. And, they use *public* airwaves.

3/ All that's to say, media should be talking about/engaging on/pressuring Spotify here. But let's not give talk radio a pass just because it's been around longer.
4/ Fox News gets sort of the same grandfathering in effect. Like, if a brand new channel emerged that did what Fox does, no one would take it seriously, they wouldn't be considered legit journalists, wouldn't be a WH press briefings and certainly wouldn't get mainstream guests.
