I don't want to give credit to Apple, but let's not forget that De Niro is anti vax, among others bullshit he have spewed over the years

I honestly don't care what the guy had to say. Removing parts from his speech without telling him is plain awful.

Wait... He is? I don't follow news about celebrities as often and only watch movies and shows, maybe some interviews.

Yeah... honestly don't blame them for cutting an unhinged rant out of their awards show speeches. But if they did it without informing him, or explicitly approved it to get him to commit, and bait and switched, then yeah, they're in the wrong.

It did make it far more entertaining, though.

This is just whataboutism.

actually it's ad hominem,

Ad hominem (Latin for 'to the person'), short for argumentum ad hominem, refers to several types of arguments, most of which are fallacious. Typically this term refers to a rhetorical strategy where the speaker attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself.

Why does him being antivaxx matter lol he should be saying what h wants not he controlled.
