Miss The Daily Show because the studios walked away from the negotiating table in the midst of the writers strike? Want the Daily Show writers-- and writers of all your other TV shows-- to get paid fairly so you don't have to sit around watching reruns of Nightline and The Singing Bee for the next eight months?
Well, take a stand!
MoveOn.org has launched its own petition to bring back The Daily Show... as well as all the other shows which have gone dark because the studios don't want to pay their writers.
Click here to sign the petition, which will be sent to studio executives in an effort to convince them to share a tiny piece of the $170 million they're making from airing shows online. (And just to be clear... that $170 million is being made off shows written by writers... none of whom make a dime when the studios show their work online.)
