Oh come on. They’re not preventing him from speaking, they’re choosing to stop putting million$ into a show with someone they no longer want to do business with (for whatever reason; details not clear).

If the show has legs, Stewart will certainly find a new host. Could be a nice catch for one of the other biggies.

Yeah they’re allowing him to speak about only what they deem as “appropriate”. Preventing him from speaking about china is not “letting him speak” as you put it. It also sounds like the reasons for not wanting to do business is pretty clear. Stewart wants to talk about things that apple feels might show them in some not great light, so they can’t have any of that.

He can and will say whatever he wants!

Apple just doesn’t want to fund the show.

Two different things.

He can say whatever he wants as an individual, but Apple is absolutely preventing him from speaking on their services because he’s saying things they don’t agree with. Don’t be pedantic

Yeah I wonder why they suddenly aren’t cool with the show. Seems pretty strange
