While I think corporate media are by far the monster in this fight, there is some irony in Colbert’s writers trying to get paid for their work winding up on the internet. They steal tons of material from unpaid internet bloggers and memetic forum content in the first place.

With the top 1% of money-earners now making over 20% of the income in this country, it’s remarkably more difficult for the bosses to cry poverty than it was twenty years ago—though it was bullshit then, too.  It just doesn’t play as well in Peoria.  The writers are going to win this strike quickly, the only regret being that we didn’t ask for more.

Well done and point right on!!!!  Loved it, support the writers!!!!
