How do you Apple fanboys turn a blind eye to this level of bullshit.

They block posts about it on their subreddit, ironically enough.

I don’t. But I do find them more aligned with my interests elsewhere. Much more so than Google, Facebook, Samsung, or the other monsters out there. Pick your poison.

You don't have to pick a team.

I use the best tool for my problem. This doesn’t mean I pick a team.

I’m not a fanboy, and I disagree with it. I’m not going to stop using apple products, because what’s the alternative?

For phones I get to choose between apple and google. This pales in comparison to what Google’s doing. So it’s like choosing between a punch in the face and being set on fire. I don’t like being punched in the face, but I have to have a phone.

For work, it’s between Apple and Microsoft. Again, holy mole is there a difference. Do I want this behavior from apple or ads on my desktop and forced patches in the middle of my presentation. I need a computer.

Don’t mistake this for “turning a blind eye.”

You have no idea how much I wanted a third alternative instead of Google and Apple.

But right now I don't have much of a choice. And that is as someone who is well versed in Apple's supply chain and China policy well before it even got to the media.

Google deserves credit for giving up some of their search and app business rather than submitting to censorship.

However, as I understand it, many Pixel phone components (and some of the phones themselves) are still made in China, although Google has some manufacturing in India and elsewhere.

Jon Stewart has never been a journalist, he's always been an entertainer. The Daily Show was not news, it was entertainment. His current iteration is worse because he now he pretends to do real news where before he was self aware of being entertainment, it was part of the joke. But he isn't different from Tucker or Maddow. He's now just cranking the Rage Machine to get his nut. The outrage on your part is just as false as the outrage he spews. He's entertainment. His entertainment should be controlled and owned by the people paying for it. There's no editorial independence to protect because it's not journalism.

He can be entertainment, while still being informative. Richard Prior was the greatest standup comic to ever live, but yet his social commentary was poignant and thought provoking.

Please We all know how the game is played from his Tucker Carlson Crossfire appearance. When it comes to awards or what he says being important he's a journalist When it comes to criticism, fact checking he's just a comedy program. And just keep switching between those 2 footings. John Oliver does the exact same thing https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/20140610090003-43504-and-the-...

You think this is outrage? I think you're missing the forest for the trees.
