Viacom seems to be getting with the new media distribution mode. Later today it appears that "13,000 video clips comprising the entirety of Comedy Central's fake news show The Daily Show With Jon Stewart will be hitting the program's official Web site." Comedy Central is apparently not launching the whole show, instead they're chopping it up into micro-chunks…all the better to insert more ads and monetize it. Comedy Central is owned by Viacom which "famously sued YouTube over copyright infringement on the video sharing site."
