Faking what?
Jon Stewart was always an unfunny hack. The entire shtick of the 'Daily Show' is to get the audience to laugh with the laughter track about political subjects the editorial team chose to highlight from a certain angle in order to get the desired effect. It was always progressive and only mildly transgressive.
You could get really hard-hitting comedy with all the hypocrisy in American politics, but the Daily Show was always that unfunny kid that tried to be funny in class, and the only one that kept laughing was the teacher.
Its probably the one redeeming thing about him, and a respectable one at that. He has been crusading on that front hard for a long time, long past when most people had moved on and forgotten it.
For all his faults, and boy there are a lot of them, he has brought more good in the world on that single front than probably every member of his staff and social circles combined ever will.
None of these media personalities are your friend or have your best interests in mind. They are quite literally the visible arm of the CIA/DoD propaganda network. That is not a slander or an exaggeration. Furthermore, have you looked into the talking heads for all major news networks? Who they are, who their parents are? They are children of the elite class. Every single one of them. Some state university kid is never going to hold their position.
Well, there's a reason they call it "acting".
Interesting. They didn't seem to have a problem with him ridiculing white people, and suggesting that blacks and jews should stop fighting each other and gang up on whitey.
I guess chinese money and influence trumps white money and influence. And while Leibowitz may be the sacrificial lamb here, jewish money and influence tends to trump all at the end of the day.
Can't say I care that much either way. I never watched his show, and I don't subscribe to AppleTV. Nothing of value was lost.
Big Tech holds more power in the USA than the white voting base. Let that sink in.
I wish that weren't completely accurate, but I fear it is, anymore.
BIG moves need to be made.
yes they do. although they are all quite frustrated they haven't made more headway into real positions of power despite their money. Gen-X-ers with money. They almost all happen to be gay or women too. Tongue in cheek they are referred to as the gay nerd industrial complex. Marc Andreessen Peter Thiel and such.
They're all weird, rich, and do not believe in the republic, Hamilton, Washington, or any of the core founding values of the USA (nationalism, protectionism, a republic and never a democracy with universal voting)
If you're a futurist of any kind, you probably don't believe in democracy. When you're a libertarian, you don't try to push people but rather align incentives so that they kind of end up doing the right thing. Democracy doesn't work when it devolves to a contest of raiding the treasury, as has been seen many times worldwide. So I understand looking at what's going on democratically and being like this could never work to secure us a bright future.
You can't throw in a bunch of different people and expect them to get along democratically. For controlling those disparate masses, you need some other kind of government.

He's basically saying: "Look, goys, it's China that's censoring you."
Apple had a problem with AI and China shows according to Jon Stewart. Well what problem did they have with it?
180k watched the first episode of The Problem, 40k watched the fifth.
So what if Apple told the show they're slashing the budget since the audience never materialized? And the AI and China episodes were next up. Well then Apple did have a problem with those episodes and it's just a small white lie(bowitz) to omit that their problem was the show is a turd.
Leibowitz didn't get the memo that the CCP hold quite a bit of swaying power in Big Tech these days
Edit: Or maybe he thought his background would protect him?
Funny how Apple doesn't seem to be concerned about the domestic market with all the shit that gets said about half the country.
Airhead validation-addicted women and cucksoy men will give all their money to Apple no matter what they do or say. Leftists will self-flagellate to death so long as they get to maintain their social image.
They fired him because he cost them millions of dollars to make a gay little show that nobody watched. IMO this article and the “rumors” are just damage control for whoever happens to own what little is left of his brand.
The problem with Jon Stewart is that he had a comedy routine, but the writing staff is what drove the show. Sure he could veto stuff here and there (like the Sarkeesian visit that got bumped to the Colbert Report for example, that was supposedly his doing)
And speaking of Colbert, his departure from Strangers with Candy also gimped that show. I knew then he was just in it for the money and fame. He left that show for a show with his name on it.
When Stewart would visit the show, his 'jokes' were just rants about the government, in a bitter resentful voice. We get it, you don't like Trump. It seems like everyone dislikes the man. And yet he pulled off a hail mary despite insane opposition.
And with Colbert, when he was a fake republican, he was funnier then too.
I guess what I have to do is look at the writing staff for those shows and find out where they went. Because the funny went with them.
All MSM "comedy" during the Trump administration seemed that way to me, and I don't recall anything like it before Trump. Obama was totally off-limits, of course. Before Obama I vaguely recall Jay Leno and Conan O'Brien having their own light-hearted flavors of political humor, mostly targeted toward the sitting president. GWB was mocked as a doofus while Bill Clinton was mocked as a womanizer and Hillary as a witch.
"Oh no, how sad. Anyway..."
I seem to be using this one a lot recently.
“To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize,”
Kind of ironic. But not unexpected with regards to Tim Cook and Apple.
The Daily Show was major liberal trash for the time yet SO MANY people here are sticking up for it!
Some of ya’ll are retarded.

so it was a money pit and this is his cope reason
