Jon Stewart critiques the media spin on Joe Biden’s cancer diagnosis, from CNN's shameless promotion of Jake Tapper’s book to Fox News’s "but"-tainted sympathies.

Award-winning journalist Patrick McGee joins Jon to discuss how Apple built China in his new book "Apple in China: The Capture of the World's Greatest Company." They talk about Apple “sleepwalking” into this crisis, building a competitive market in Xi Jinping's authoritarian state, the vocational training that boosted rivals, how Trump’s attempted Apple boycott backfired, and whether investments may be facilitating the annexation of Taiwan.
