In general, I find that people here would benefit from treating Apple-related news with a tad more cynicism (especially those highly critical of Apple).
Obviously! You think that’s a point of pride? Not caring about human beings subjected to human rights violations? We’re supposed to praise you for that reprehensible position?
No, but it will become more obvious to many in the west when idealism doesn’t keep up anymore.
Communists are not people, they are property of the state
I sincerely hope they become something else, but I’m not sure they have the desire to
What a filthy and reprehensible thing to post.
Not nearly as filthy and reprehensible as the practice of communism which has killed TONS of people
If the people of china rise up and remove the communists I’ll change my tune 100%, communism/fascism (different pitch for the same product) it’s like a cancer and there is no such thing as good cancer, it needs to be aggressive removed and hopefully one day cured
Have you considered that you have that same belief deep in your DNA... and it's why you believe your beliefs to be more accurate than those of others?
Business and media is always going to be a bad marriage. Too many vested interests ($$$) to allow transparency and truth.
Not really. When a person under your employ, embarrasses themselves, their employer is ultimately responsible. Especially if they can foresee it. Which they could. Think Tucker Carlson.
Well, sure, maybe not the best ratings but that’s now why he was cancelle.
Jon Stewart Says Apple TV+ Canceled His Show Because ‘They Didn’t Want Me to Say Things That Might Get Me in Trouble’
Jon Stewart's Apple TV+ series ended abruptly after two seasons. He says the tech giant "didn’t want me to say things that might get me in trouble.”

The colbert report wouldn’t work as well today. Because the satire he did back then has become reality now. Today, the persona from the colbert report would seem like just another conservative pundit.
First, how is a TV show on-demand different from a podcast (apart from the fact that one has picture and the other one doesn't?
Second, Apple TV is not a national broadcast. It is actually neither national in the sense of distribution (I can watch it here in Switzerland), nor is it national in the sense of financing (it's a private offer) nor is it a broadcast (it's an on-demand streaming service).
Why do you care? You said communists are not people.
And yet 100% true. Or do you need to rewatch Chinese authorities literally sealing and welding Chinese people inside their apartments during the pandemic?
Yeah the irony.
For the Tiananmen Square massacre the government has done its best to remove that event from the people’s minds.
For the January 6th in the US it’s the other way around.. unless of course the US re-elect Trump.
Two things puzzle me about this: didn’t Apple do their homework before hiring him? It couldn’t have been a big surprise what he wanted to say.
And why do people call Jon Stewart controversial? Watching him from across the pond, most of what he says just makes sense.

It’s a mistake to defend him. No one is disputing how the Chinese government treats people. But their political ideology shouldn’t disqualify victims of one’s sympathy. Only a monster has no empathy for those unfairly under the threat of violence and death. I’m unclear on why that isn’t absolutely obvious.
