There were some good moments on the DS tonight. More coverage of Republican Ted Stevens strange description of the Net as a series of "tubes". Stewart brought out John Hogman, to comment on Stevens' and the Net Neutrality bill. Hodgman is well-known at the colorless "PC" in the ubiquitous "Get a Mac" ads and Stewart made references to those ads during the segment. The end result was essentially an advertising placement in a fake news segment. It was funny, but it almost felt like they were selling us something for a few minutes. Maybe they were :)
