Indeed. The article is pathetically low on details, but it wouldn't surprise me if Stewart actually cut ties because they didn't want him doing an hour of sissypea bashing on the flimsiest horseshit and he didn't back down. I'm sure he'd feel all smug and self-righeous about it too, the hwite hero of a billion and half oppressed chinese.
Stewart's pet project is defending the emergency service workers who participated during WTC attacks. If he really gave a shit he'd be speaking out against usian military endeavours at every turn so that such an attack wouldn't happen again, yet he's nowhere to be found.
I still remember when Conan O'Brien was doing weekly or almost daily jokes about the DPRK. Then he did an IDF publicity video.
Great, now I can’t 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 Americans—even my PMC peers—have 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 aren't that bright I see. That's the point, apple doesn't 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 didn't get to do sinophobic rants and convince people to beat China in the AI race, he wouldn't 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 doesn't 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?
