Video: The Daily Show takes on China and Iran
The late-night show spends an entire segment on tech stories Monday.
Because there is no Friday show, the Daily Show got to the top weekend technology stories Monday night. First, regarding the Chinese hack of the New York Times , host Jon Stewart asked: “You send your elite hackers out and all they get is Maureen Dowd’s email address?” Stewart then tied the hack to the American diet of television news.
The second half of the segment addressed the recent news that Iran launched a monkey into space . With the news that skeptics believe the monkey paraded around Tehran last week is not the one launched into space, Stewart speculated that the nature of Iran’s space program may involve cosmetic surgery.
