Jon Stewart Goes Into More Detail About Apple Exit and Reveals Execs’ Concerns: ‘They Didn’t Censor Me,’ but ‘Our Aims Don’t Align in Any Way’


Jon Stewart says Apple did not censor him, but the two parties did not align in any way when it came to topics and discussion points on his show.

“They didn’t censor me, it wasn’t free speech,” Stewart recently said on “The Town” podcast(via Rolling Stone) about the end of his Apple relationship. Stewart was interviewing Federal Trade Commission chair Lina Khan on “The Daily Show” and told her that he once pitched to have her as a guest on “The Problem” podcast. Considering Khan’s work at the FTC targets tech giants’ monopolistic practices, Apple allegedly did not want Stewart bringing her on the program to presumably talk about such topics.
