Jon Stewart opens up about Apple interference in his show

Jon Stewart opens up about Apple interference in his show
The company that funds the show having a say in the material is nothing new. That dynamic has been around since the beginning of media. Stewart himself has been known to adhere to the principles of both-siderism when it comes to political topics which isn’t exactly the most honest way of presenting information. -
Several senators overseeing anti-Apple regulations controversially hold shares
Members of Congress currently aren't banned from owning stock. I'm sure Richard Painter and the New York Post would be aware of that. However, the STOCK Act was passed and signed into law in 2012. It's mainly focused on insider trading
"The Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012 (Pub. L.Tooltip Public Law (United States) 112–105 (text)(PDF), S. 2038, 126 Stat. 291, enacted April 4, 2012) is an Act of Congress designed to combat insider trading. It was signed into law by President Barack Obama on April 4, 2012. The law prohibits the use of non-public information for private profit, including insider trading, by members of Congress and other government employees. It confirms changes to the Commodity Exchange Act, specifies reporting intervals for financial transactions."

As for "talking points", there are corporations on either side of the antitrust allegations. So saying anything pro/con for the issues involved is going to technically involve covering ground contained in corporate talking points.
