Of course it's too low resolution, but it conveys that he's on the left without going into detail. In the latest Rogan podcast (still listening) Eric describes himself as "very progressive".

Sam Harris is smart and usually correct, but he’s kind of the Hannity of the left: so dry and humorless that I just can’t do it.

The dispassion is what lends credibility, even if he is biased. Bias is unavoidable. I play Harris at 1.25x speed.

So I’m kinda left with Rogan...

I really like Rogan, but more due to his format and less to do with him as a host. He's a dumb guy as far as hosts go (he's probably average IQ), but that's helpful to an audience because he asks the dumb questions (no such thing as a dumb question except the one not asked).
Rogan has an ape-like reaction similar to the public at large to things as evidenced by his comments on the Floyd incident. Eric tries to go into nuance, and Rogan sticks to his low res instincts for the most part, though I admire his openness to due process.
