Jon Stewart could post phone videos from a trashcan Oscar-style and I'd watch it

I think I would watch this more.
jon stewart's sesame street cinamatic universe where the Count would count how many times the government fucks up >:(
We are headed to civil war, of course the fascists are going to close down the biting humorous news show.
Do people still think we are in the stage of collapse where popular subversive art is allowed? We are WAY past that point, the cancer has spread and metastasized, I hope we can walk out of this together but between here and there is mass protest the likes the US has never seen.
John Oliver stopped criticizing Trump too... There's a marked shift in his tone
Uhh, the most recent episode is critical of Trump's "Big Beautiful Bill?"
He criticizes policy but not Trump directly.
Haven’t seen the past few episodes but that’s a real shame to hear. Seems like his show would rather be cancelled than conform.
He should quit and team up with Colbert to do something. Those two are fire, as the kids say.
I think Stewart's current contract extends until the end of the year (at a minimum). I'm also confident Stewart has complete creative freedom, same as Colbert.
I expect they'll be having A LOT of fun between now and when their contracts end, all on CBS's dime. Once it's over, they'll team up for sure. (If not a bunch before.)
They should just start a YouTube channel...at least then they own the content.
Google would own the content.
Edit: I'm not going to bother replying to every ignorant person that wants to disagree. If you upload something to Google and they can remove it, censor it or blank out sections, or demonetize sections or the entire thing.. than Google owns it. Google owns the platform you are uploading it to and it functionally becomes part of their property. It even says so in the terms and conditions.
You may still own the original recording, but you do not own the uploaded version once it is uploaded.
google would have a license
Ownership is a complicated concept but no, not really.
Google owns the platform, they can decide what to have in their platform, but under license. They could still license it to a lot of other platforms, because they would still own it.
If you upload something to Google and they can remove it, censor it or blank out sections, or demonetize sections or the entire thing.. than Google owns it.
That's...not even a little bit true. They can do whatever they want with it on their platform. If they owned it you wouldn't be able to upload it to other platforms. CBS could basically erase the entirety of Colbert's content from existence and he would have no recourse because he doesn't own the content, CBS does. Similarly he could not take his content and publish it elsewhere. That's the important bit here.
I felt safe as long as Steven Colbert and Jon Stewart had jobs. They wouldn't come after me as long as larger targets exist.
I feel much less safe now.
Looks like the oligarchs bought another media agency. It's only possible because people keep accepting their "money".
and cuz people won’t stop buying shit from chick-fil-a, hobby lobby, amazon, etc etc etc.
those places take that money and purchase more and more of the us government with it.
Problem is, we have to buy food and toilet paper and cell phones and electricity and Internet service. The oligarchs control all of that.
this is all true, but buying things from the smallest stores you can keeps. ore money in your community and out of jeff penis rocket’s fuel tank.
i’m just sayin. whenever you can avoid buying from them it really helps
Apple already canceled him for trying to interview Lena Khan the FTC lady that was going after Apple.
She just talked with Adam on the Factually podcast this past week, FYI.
Maybe we'll get lucky and the show will end so he and Stephen Colbert will run on the same ticket for president.
Maybe don't do shows on piece of shit networks owned by pieces of shit
Which network is not owned by a piece of shit?
Floatplane would be good for monetization.
Peertube would work to get messages out.
Yeah that's my point
Which shows should we watch then?
Internet
Which part of the internet can you host these shows on that would have a large reach and still not owned by piece of shit?
I keep all my data in the cloud not cloud computing but I use contrails to manipulate the forms in the sky that refract the light into a coherent photodynamic structure I read with a massive fisheye telescope in the desert.
If you're nice I can hook you up with a subscription for only $10.99/day
His show is on borrowed time.
Conservatives move heaven and earth to diminish everything leftish. They religiously gerrymander Democrats out of governance. They rabidly go after everything woke. Democrats are threatened with prison and violence. Even a comedic late night show is threatening.
I wonder if people who think Democrats are controlled opposition ever wonder why Republicans highest priority, above literally everything else, is to keep Democrats out at all costs.
