Apple under fire over cancellation of Jon Stewart show amid China concerns - Lemmy.zip

Shouldn’t be too tough to explain. “We paid a lot of $ $ to bring John Stewart out of retirement, but nobody watched the first two seasons, so we didn’t make a third.”
It's one of the few things on Apple TV I actually watched... and as a talk/news show it's not like it was terribly expensive. We know exactly WHY they cancelled it, and they deserve any vitriol directed at them, not that it will matter.
