I dropped the Mark Zuckerberg interview then watched later. Despite guests may have an agenda, I'm not certain about Rogan yet. He seemed to be switching topics on the Fb free expression thing because he didn't buy much of the bs. It all seemed a bit too convenient. May be that companies are going to where the audience can be reached. MZ has some fixing to do, for example.

Hmm.. you do make an interesting point though, to keep an eye/ear out for which guests and what's being discussed. They did talk briefly about how media changed, comparing it to the radio-to-tv transition, which may hint at that big tech etc is looking for/going to the audience. (Although that's mostly bullshit and they know it because they've been blatantly spreading false info which wouldn't be acceptable on radio either.) I guess they see their little empire dwindling quickly now.
Let's see if Rogan stays in charge or it moves towards bullshit discussions. I think Rogan has little to lose in his current position.
Hell, I'm gonna credit MZ on one thing. In the last half hour of the interview they touched on some sensitive topics, and even if he had to choose his words carefully, he did try to speak his mind. Choosing words carefully isn't always to deceive, sometimes it's to not be unfair to other people on a very subtle point. Rogan for his part pointed out some somewhat hairy things that he could've just left out of the conversation for safety.
