The latest comes from Apple CEO Tim Cook, who penned an op-ed in the Washington Post. "America’s business community recognized a long time ago that discrimination, in all its forms, is bad for business," he wrote.

A new host has been named to replace Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. Comic Trevor Noah "first appeared on 'The Daily Show' last December in a segment titled 'Spot the Africa,' during which he highlighted African stereotypes by comparing America to African nations, including Noah’s home country of South Africa."
