To quote Dave Chappelle "don't take the sneaker deal". It's Apple's show, not John Stewart's show. He can't be allowed to talk trash about China under the Apple log (as per Apple's pov)(even if his points would have merit). And Apple is one more company held by the @@ from China's authoritative state. It's a pity. I hope he WILL use the material and speak his mind, either in some another media or social outlet. We shouldn't gag comedians spilling the beans. That's the Chinese/Russian method. We shouldn't play the same filthy game in the West.

In this day and age, why would someone like Jon Stewart need Apple anyway? He could just do exactly the same thing on his own. Granted you need money to pay for his staff and the platform, but it's probably within it's reach anyway.

  Although he could have the dough to set it up, it would be better if he could find a platform like HBO, Apple, Netflix that will have the guaranteed audience. He could as well make his podcast (and carry a couple of sponsors). The problem would then be transferred to "who will sponsor the China episode"? The issue is not John Stewart, Apple, NBA, John Cena, and all the rest. The problem is that "their values/ways" do not align with "our values/ways", and because we make our iphones there, and because NBA sells tshirts there, and because Cena does movies/fights there, and so on.. To paraphrase the Chappelle quote "we got the sneaker deal" and now we just take the slaps.
