Combine this with the news of CNN+ tanking, and it's a good week.

Who came up with that title? The Problem with Jon Stewart. Where to start?!

And from the article, insulting what viewers you do have? That's really smart!

Well, I’ll start...
The first problem is that he is UNFunny... the Opposite of funny.
He needs more canned laughter.

American media worships their own like gods, so everyone acts surprised when they have yet another failure.

I don’t know anyone who subscribes to AppleTV, so I am not surprised his ratings are low. I don’t think they even have much content. They would probably run into antitrust problems if they tried to buy one of the major streaming services or networks so they have to build their own and create their own programming. Sounds like it’s just a video blog site for high priced former celebrities.

I have a TV show idea maybe I should pitch it to them, but I think it won’t fit into their political ideology.

He’s not being woke enough, and he is too pro-white.

Chris Wallace needs to interview Stewart on CNN+.

They may break new ground with negative viewership.

I’m behind with the times. But Jon Stewart is probably too PC. Afraid to push the envelope. If he’s like that, then it’s not comedy.

I got a free 3 month subscription to AppleTV+ when I bought an iPad, couldn’t find a single thing worth watching and cancelled it after 3 days, even though I still had 3 months left on the free trial (didn’t want to forget and get billed for the 4 month++)

He was unfunny from way back when he started on MTV.

The streaming market is starting to become oversaturated.

I pretty get all my entertainment on Discovery Plus anyway.

It’s started out thin. I liked the first season of the “Morning Show”. It seemed to this casual student of the genre to be a damning indictment of it all.

And Reese Witherspoon has got a mounts on her…. Oh my 🤣

I never even heard of AppleTV … just to show you how utterly disconnected I am from the modern entertainment culture.
