It’s been enlightening to see how many mainstream journalists are pro-censorship of Joe Rogan over alleged COVID misinformation that’s supposedly killing people. They’re the gatekeepers of truth; it comes down from Dr. Anthony Fauci or the CDC and the media helpfully passes it on down to us, the unenlightened.
Remember when NPR reported a man had been turned away from 43 ICUs because they were filled to capacity with COVID patients? Yeah, NPR picked that up from the man’s obituary, and they didn’t even check in with the family members who wrote it before going to press. And then there was the Washington Post going back 15 months and taking the words “debunked” and “conspiracy theory” out of a headline about Tom Cotton’s suggestion the coronavirus could have come from a lab leak.
Now we know where they get it from: school. Jeff Jarvis is a professor at the City University of New York’s Journalism School, and he’s passing along a list of Joe Rogan’s advertisers just in case anyone wanted to stop supporting them, like he will.
Thanks, Joe, for listing your advertisers. I haven't heard of 90% of them. But I guess I'll have to stop using Harry's and Zoom….https://t.co/qvfwYPTFOA pic.twitter.com/o1sMNUqbMg

Thanks for posting! I’ll purchase from all of them if I can. Great companies.

Why is it that the political left are such authoritarian fascist bastards when it comes to censoring anything they disagree with? It is okay for people to think differently and have different opinions. Crap like this is NOT healthy for anyone. The left needs to grow up.

Kick ass. Now I know who to support with my income

You literally just gave his audience a cheat sheet on who to support. Good job, keep it coming because we appreciate knowing what products to buy to spite the Covidians.

I'd just like to add that @harrys soap is awesome. And they give to orgs that support men's mental health so I don't care who they advertise with. They are doing good things with great products.

You’re seriously going to stop using Zoom because two people had a conversation you didn’t agree with??
— Brandon Markert (@MarkertBrandon) January 31, 2022
Just imagine for one second the level of naïveté it would take to believe a college journalism professor would take the step of boycotting Zoom
Then healthy, double vaxxed and boosted 18-21 year old students might actually get in-person instruction
Zero chance he wants that

I guarantee you will not stop using Zoom.

With journalism professors like this, is there any surprise why most people distrust the media?
— AggAssault73 (@AAssault73) January 31, 2022
Why are you like this? 😐
— plantist cole (@horticoleture) January 31, 2022
How strange. Journalism professors targeting podcast advertisers. You think they would try to project an image of impartiality. I wonder how biased his classes are.
— Camacho2024 🇺🇸 ⛰ (@jcschmieder) January 31, 2022
You wouldn’t wonder if you followed him on Twitter.
Harry’s and Zoom are quaking in their boots right now.

Hi Jeff I’ll be doing the same as soon as I see the misinformation Joe has been pushing. Please help me out so I can begin my boycotts soon. 🙏🏼
— Hollaria Briden, Esq. (@HollyBriden) January 31, 2022
I was going to organize strategy meetings on Zoom for organizing boycotts, but I guess Jeff won't be joining us🙁

Thanks to @1G_Regie for digging up this gem:
Here's the Guardian telling people how to boycott Google. Isn't this going too far, journalistically? http://t.co/7OxFg7rotp

Jarvis isn’t quite stirring up the rage mob with his tweet that he might have intended.
