It still amazes me that Apple can't even be PERCEIVED as somehow criticizing China -- even if Stewart's reporting was going to be factual.
Apple, a US-headquartered company and the most valuable in the world, can't have a show on their streaming platform that isn't supportive of China.

- red-iron-pine 3y ago> US-headquartered company an important phrasing, because they're not an American company, they just kinda hang out in California. They're a Multinational, and they don't have a country, and don't have allegiance outside of keeping that stock price high.
