the ones you're afraid will be manipulated into fascism or whatever, would have seen that recanted.

They would have seen a recantion, yes, but nothing about either saying why he just ranted about Biden's mental fitness with appropriate evidence OR spend some significant time retracting each adjective that he applied to Biden on false information.

He is fucking broadcasting. Stop treating him like a buddy sitting on your couch. He either knows what he is doing, or he has no respect for the power of having a large audience that can internalize messages on his word.

I believe your comment shows a lack of awareness of how people get piped to fascist viewpoints. To be clear, I do not think Rogen is intentionally leading people there, but being an idiot is not a great shield.
