Seems like everyone is fighting in the TV world right now, between AMC and Dish Network and now Viacom and DirecTV. But why must we all suffer! ::cue dramatic fake fainting::
AMC agreed to stream MORE to keep its viewers happy during the Dish battle... but Viacom is playing differently. DirecTV told its customers, basically, "Hey, you can still stream this stuff. Go to the internet, chumps." In rebuttal, Viacom pulled the full episodes of some of its most streamed show: "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report."
That's just mean. I know I can't be the only one who catches up on the previous night's shows while eating lunch in front of my computer. Don't get between me and my political satire! Hopefully, all is settled soon... so those of you with DirecTV can watch all the Comedy Central and Nickelodeon you want in the comfort of your own home, and so I can watch Jon Stewart in the comfort of my desk chair.
