While watching the Alito confirmation hearing (on c-span), before the 1pm break there were banks of remote cameras behind Alito. On all the cameras, the brand names had been removed. Is this response from CanonĂ¢€™s press dominance ads I wonder? Has advertising dollars become so prevalent that no product names can be shown on TV without paying first? Just an observation.

I believe (but could be wrong) that the labels are removed (or obscured) so as to not imply there is an edorsement of the product from any political party.

Just look at all the "product placements" in movies and TV shows now for your answer. It's BIG money and I would guess it's coming from this.

I still laugh that Dell and Apple still get free plugs by the "news" places that need to have a laptop on the news desk (for show mostly as I have only seen a few that had an active network connection). Only one has put their own logo on the back of the screen, but I expect it will be more common - or they will have Dell/whoever pay for the advertising (they might already for all I know).

I think you can bet that if you see a recognizable 'pooter on a news program, the manufacturer very likely paid for the placement. BTW, just because there is no visible network connection does not rule out WiFi.
