Mmmmm... The funny to flack offset probably isn't worth it to Stewart and Colbert. They're not news shows and there's not much comedy to draw from the SOPA proceedings. Especially with Ameraca's favorite reality show cramming up the broadcast space.
- mkr-hn 15y agoTheir interviews are the real deal. Getting a famous Internet person on to talk about SOPA wouldn't be an unusual thing for either of them.
- stfu 15y ago"Famous Internet Person": I don't know. I would much more prefer some artist, director, politician and not another "internet activist".
- freehunter 15y agoNiel DeGrasse Tyson? I don't know his position on SOPA, but I'd imagine he's against it. John Hodgman? He's a writer for Wired, been on Diggnation, Attack of the Show, and TED, and works with Jonathon Coulton. He's got a ton of 'net-cred and is frequently on TDS.
- stfu 15y agoI would much more prefer seeing one of the household names in the "old" media see speak out - some of the more expected opponents like Al Gore, Mc Hammer or Aston Kutcher would give the issue a better face and show that the opponents are not just some people from the internet who want to "to kill our beloved music and movie culture".
- kissickas 15y agoHow many people are going to make this same comment? Colbert has already covered it multiple times. http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/403466/december-01-2011/stop-online-piracy-act---danny-goldberg---jonathan-zittrain http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/40346...
- gerggerg 15y agoWhile I don't appreciate the rhetorical question, good point. I had forgotten about that.
