We don't need a Left Rogan, we have Bill Burr

[NNguyenMD]

Low his show, love his observations on politics and inequality. Very genuine and entertaining. He’s our path to a wider audience

[lame54]

1. Yes. He knows how to do edgy comedy...

without resorting to just hurling insults then crying cancel culture when challenged on them
In fact, he calls bullshit on cancel culture

[DesertRain]

2. Love Bill Burr, always have

But he's not as Left as Rogan is Right.
He lacks the courage.

5. Not true at all - he ripped Maher a new one to his face.

I don’t want him grandstanding left positions. It’s not his job to be a megaphone for the left, and as soon as he did that, people would dismiss him as another Lib.

We need more people like him shredding stupidity in regular performances and conversations.

[DesertRain]

6. That's an opinion I don't totally disagree with

I don't need him grandstanding and megaphoning for the left either.
He's got some solid left positions, of course.
But he certainly rides the line far too much to be considered "The Left's Rogan".
That was my only point.

9. I agree

It has to be done matter-of-factly, not as if it came from some partisan.

Burr is a lion.

3. Keith Olbermann is my all-time favorite broadcaster

but he unfortunately has had a habit of burning bridges

[Seeking Serenity]

8. Burning bridges and then taking tank treads to the ashes

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. If the left ever gets it's own Rogan, it won't be a man.

That much should be clear.

Trying to sway some of Rogan’s male audience over to a progressive podcast is missing the point.

7. Burr and Rogan are close friends nt
