This has backfired massively. I never listened to Joe before this and wasnt even really aware of his show ( i hate 3 hour podcast stuff) but the Streisand Effect made me check out the Malone and McCullough vid and now have listened to a lot of his vids.
He's so milquetoast and literally just sits there and lets the guest talk for 20 mins at a time and only interjects to prompt them to explain or to clarify things. Rogan barely even makes comments so why is he getting flak??
You are right. I think it's because like you pointed out, he "literally just sits there and lets the guest talk for 20 mins at a time"... this is what actual journalism is. It is not scripted and leading questions. If the interviewer talks more than the person being interviewed it's a pretty good sign that someone else is driving that car. I also picked up on watching the Bob Lazar episode that Rogan made reference to their dinner the night before; I'm not sure if he spends time with most guests like this, but it would certainly aid to the more personable and casual feel to his show - again, more like a conversation than interview.
