Jon Stewart Smashes the Myth of Corporate Morality in Pride, BLM, and Beyond | The Daily Show

It’s Pride Month! While some corporations like Target are hiding their pride for the sake of loud conservatives, others are doing everything they can to virtue signal to consumers. Jon Stewart rips off the mask of corporate “values” and examines how corporations will perform caring about issues like DEI, climate change, or patriotism, as long as it means bigger profits, and how quickly they backtrack on those moral stands when it no longer suits their bottom line. #DailyShow #Pride #Diversity #Target

"They've got us fighting a culture war to distract us from fighting a class war."

The owners of Walmart are worth like $267 billion US. McDonald’s made $14.6 BILLION in profit last year. I’ve always been confused why they want us to “donate” our actual hard-earned money.

I'm so grateful for my 9th grade English teacher who had us watch commercials and analyze what they were trying to make us feel. I really think everyone needs that 'talk' at a young age, that marketing and advertising is really only about one thing

Back in summer of 2016 Anheuser-Busch launched a marketing campaign temporarily rebranding their beer "America", printed on every can in lieu of the Budweiser logo. Had a friend who worked for them at the time. On the same day of that press release they outsourced her entire department to a call center in India.

I'm not worried about the corporation virtue signaling. I'm worried about the politicians they donate to supporting legislation to take people's rights away.

"They have one value and that's shareholder value...nothing that they do that's not in service of their bottom line..."
-THAT PART

The "best" was when the grocery store chain Meijer here in Michigan sold a "fight for women's equality" dish towel for International Women's Day 😂

i live on social security as a retired person. i resent corporations asking ME for donations when they are price gouging us.
i resent them virtue signalling when they are underpaying their workers.

Jon Stewart left the media as Gandalf the Gray. He has returned to us in our more dire time of need as Gandalf the White

“Corporate America: We never cared… and you’re idiots to believe we ever did.”

[SturmFlut]

I can't even begin to explain how great it is to have Jon Stewart back, and I'm not even living in the USA

[Skippy]

It's so nice having Jon back, EVERY side deserves to be poked at.

[JamieDallas]

Corporations aren't even hiding their greed anymore. They're price gouging without raising wages.

Took a course called Business Ethics in college. The instructor made it clear, the class was a course in theory only...there are no practical applications.

The saddest part: because all companies support for LGBTQIA+ equality so loudly, others start to blame members of the LGBTQIA+-community "for pushing a woke agenda, " causing more resentment than members of these groups deserve (if they deserve any resentment at all). I hate that.

I worked for target last June, of they pulled back on pride month this year it is absolutely because they were done with getting bomb threats. The whole time I worked for target I had to sit through active shooter training every few months. I was starting to wonder how often targets get shot up to have to sit through it so much.

Remember, corporations aren't your friends.

[josephmatuszak]

A Corporation is nothing but a Golem being maintained and aimed by humans.... that is all. No emotion, no soul, just a ruthless drive towards a single mission.... get more money.

[bobh]

The definition of corporation is an entity with all the rights of the individual and none of the responsabilty.

[justtwobrotherspokemon]

I've been saying it since the beginning. Corporations like Target, for example, are selling pride shirts not because they support the community but because they're trying to make money from people.
