Do you think it's fair for companies like Apple to influence the content of their shows?
"The Problem With Jon Stewart" on Apple TV+ has been scrapped for its third season due to disputes over the show's content, particularly the topic of China and AI, the NY Times reported. Reports speculated that ending Jon Stewart's show could be in line with Apple's goal to preserve its strong ties with China, its third-largest market.
- According to The New York Times, creative differences between Stewart and Apple have led to the show's cancellation just before the start of its third season.
- Apple executives reportedly expressed concerns about specific topics, such as China and AI, to the production staff.
- When Apple insisted that Stewart be "aligned" on the show's topics and threatened cancellation, Stewart opted to walk away as he wanted to retain full creative control, according to THR.
- Apple has previously taken measures to protect its ties with the country, including directing show creators not to portray China negatively.
- Apple recently reported an 8% rise in its revenue from China. Earlier this week, CEO Tim Cook made his second visit to China this year, meeting with the country's commerce minister.
