when I was a lib I used to like The Daily Show because it was kinda cathartic to watch them mock conservatives.
However I remember one episode where they were covering a story about students at Berkeley protesting the marines opening up a recruiting office on campus, and basically the entire segment was them shitting on these kids. The students were anti-war and didnât want the US military recruiting future killers on their campus. The Daily Show even had their news correspondent Rob Riggle (retired marine) interviewing students and trapping them in ridiculous âgotchasâ to make them look dumb. It was one of the first moments as a baby leftist where I was like âwait⌠why are they doing this? those kids are right to not want the military at their school.â And watching this thickneck piece of shit Riggle bully young people who obviously donât know enough to âdebateâ him while a camera is shoved in their face was infuriating.
Then later I watched Stewart perform at USO shows in Iraq and Afghanistan (among other places) to entertain these imperialist tools and I just lost any shred of respect I still had for him. He even had that awful âRally to Restore Sanityâ event in D.C. which was effectively a giant centrist circlejerk that accomplished absolutely nothing. I havenât even paid attention to anything heâs done since but Iâm not the least bit surprised that heâs still a dipshit.
Cringe. I listened during Trevor Noahâs time, and it was part of my SocDem phase in podcasts. It was fun to hear them dunk on the Cons. The foreign policy takes stunk though. I remember an episode where they were shitting on Kim Jong Un for crying as he congratulated his people on dealing with Covid well. âItâs not like they could elect another leader.â
I guess he wants to take the title of most racist and xenophobic liberal away from Maher.
I donât think Maher has pinned a medal on a nazi as of yet, so thereâs that difference.
Though I wouldnât put it past him.
lol libs fighting other libs

These liberal hosts are all a bunch of anti-communist reactionaries, many are also Zionists.
Indeed. The article is pathetically low on details, but it wouldnât surprise me if Stewart actually cut ties because they didnât want him doing an hour of sissypea bashing on the flimsiest horseshit and he didnât back down. Iâm sure heâd feel all smug and self-righeous about it too, the hwite hero of a billion and half oppressed chinese.
Stewartâs pet project is defending the emergency service workers who participated during WTC attacks. If he really gave a shit heâd be speaking out against usian military endeavours at every turn so that such an attack wouldnât happen again, yet heâs nowhere to be found.
I still remember when Conan OâBrien was doing weekly or almost daily jokes about the DPRK. Then he did an IDF publicity video.
Great, now I canât unsee this. THANKS. Conan Trains With The Women Of The Israel Defense Forces
Takes pinkwashing to a whole new level.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
I cannot believe how my fellow Americansâeven my PMC peersâhave never figured out that our military-industrial complex is not keeping us safe, as evidenced by the two smouldering piles where our most iconic towers once stood in our premier city. Like, the concept of blowback is just absent, it seems.

You arenât that bright I see. Thatâs the point, apple doesnât give two shits what their people say except if it hurts the bottom line. There are no good guys between apple and Stewart, the only thing of note is that if true, Stewart is so sinophobic that if he didnât get to do sinophobic rants and convince people to beat China in the AI race, he wouldnât have a show at all.
Apple can get huge R&D grants if the USAs relationship with China sours further. Apple represents the USA, the USA doesnât have an AI technology sector independent of the big Silicon Valley companies. Apple pushing for Sinophobia, being indifferent to Sinophobia, or being weary of non-factual reporting driven by Sinophobia hurting their business relationships in or with China are all plausible situations where motifs can be shown.

Apple acting in accordance with its interests, given that it does business in China, is too shocking to be believed?
Tell us more about the bridge. Does it bear enough load for me to drive a T-34 over it, and once I get to the opposite side from the libs will it burn easily?
Aww did lib Jesus get a booboo?
Itâs funnier for me to believe that they took his show away because he was too cool about China
Good. Bye bye loser and fascist apologist.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
But ahead of production kicking off on the showâs third season, Stewart and Apple have reportedly parted ways over âcreative differences,â and The Problem is coming to an end.
Though new episodes of the show were scheduled to begin shooting in just a few weeks, staffers learned today that production had been halted.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, ahead of its decision to end The Problem, Apple approached Stewart directly and expressed its need for the host and his team to be âalignedâ with the companyâs views on topics discussed.
Rather than falling in line when Apple threatened to cancel the show, Stewart reportedly decided to walk.
The Timesâ report doesnât detail what about the showâs planned coverage of artificial intelligence and China prompted Appleâs executive leadership to butt heads with Stewart.
But considering how pointed criticality is a big part of what ultimately made The Problem With Jon Stewart a hit for Apple TV Plus and how maintaining a cordial relationship with China is crucial to Appleâs future plans for growth, it doesnât come as a shock to see the show hit the chopping block this way.
