You're covering for Apple censoring on behalf of China.

Is anyone surprised? Why even join Apple if you're expecting integrity?

Because they threw a bunch of money at him and said, "do what you want". So he made a show that was a little more medicine and a little less comedy that he knew would get lower ratings.

Have you ever seen the opening credits?

He probably had this conversation with the staff as he hired them.

I’m just saying, this wasn’t The Daily Show, either in quality or in viewership. It would be a much cleaner case to make if the show was at all popular, but there were like 12 people still watching. A 3rd season would have been a real stretch.
