    Gee wonder why, maybe because they’re just constantly printing lies and rage bait? This is an insanely rich and powerful company, show some fucking backbone and flex a bit.

    I love blaming Apple for things, but this one isn’t their fault.

    Apple can’t help that conservatism heavily upon not knowing what’s going on in the world.

    appletv+ is unlikely going to be turned into a pro-conservative media, since its owned by apple and the customers watching the shows on it are not of whiney conservative audiences.

      In fact they have LGBTQ characters in plenty of their shows and overall I’d say there’s a progressive vibe to a lot of the content. Loot makes fun of rich people. Severance is a lot of things, but it also makes fun of meaningless jobs. Decent amount of PoC representation (IMO) without making a point of being exclusively non-white. Because Apple knows the audience they want to appeal to, and it ain’t a bunch of old conservative men.

    The FCC Fairness Doctrine has not been a thing since 1987. If they want it back, they should go through the proper channels. This “legislation” based on Trump’s whims is pure theater designed to flood the zone with endless distraction.

      The FCC only regulates broadcast media over the airwaves. The public owns radio spectrum, so is federally regulated. Content sent over privately owned wires is protected by the 1st Amendment.

      Can we just start calling them the regressive party. They aren’t conserving shit anymore. They really don’t deserve the title anymore

    …most recently at a private screening of the film “Melania” documenting First Lady Melania Trump.

    I am no fan of Cook, but hasn’t he suffered enough?
