    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.

      Oh I got your “point”. It’s just not a real point. After all, you introduced us as a completely personal assumption without any evidence to back it up. It’s your own fanfiction of what must be going on.

      It’s an utter fantasy you created out of thin air. But you put so little thought into it, you didn’t think of the implications of your statement. You used vague language and didn’t think through who the players were and what interests they actually and reasonably would have.

      Now you’re in the position where to defend your original, poorly thought out fictional assumption, you need to double down on championing fucking Apple Inc. as a friend and defender of China. If you really think Apple Inc of all fucking companies put their foot down because of Sinophpbia, I have a bridge to sell you.

      You’re inventing false information, and don’t seem to realize how much undue credence you’re giving a trillion dollar company in order to rush to hate Jon Stewart. You just had a preconceived notion and then invented absolute bullshit to justify your kneejerk hate, and participate in the Two Minute Hate that is this comment section.

        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?
