“Nice Try, Apple — You Just Pi**ed Off Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, and Now the Whole Industry’s Panicking”
It was supposed to be a quiet kill — cancel the show, bury the headlines, move on.
But someone forgot one very inconvenient truth: you don’t muzzle Jon Stewart without consequences, and you definitely don’t do it when Stephen Colbert is just a phone call away.
After Apple TV+ pulled the plug on The Problem with Jon Stewart, reportedly over his refusal to “play nice” on topics like China, Big Tech, and the military-industrial complex, what should’ve been a routine decision has detonated into a full-blown media meltdown.
Just days after the cancellation, Stewart and Colbert were spotted slipping into a closed-door meeting that sources now describe as “the calm before the storm.”
Industry execs are sweating bullets as rumors swirl of a rogue media movement — one that could tear down the sanitized, corporate walls of television and rebuild it on their own terms.
Every network is asking the same question: what are they planning? And the fact that no one knows is exactly what has Hollywood terrified.
What started as one show’s quiet death may have just triggered the loudest revolution TV has seen in decades. Details in comment.......
