    The writers union have been on strike since late 2007 - so late shows, Jon Stewart, SNL were off air for months . Some ran without benefit of writers so when the strike was over there was quite a lot of publicity around the shows all returning. The SNL spoof made it into the main news media and has been said to be responsible for the turn around in the media attitudes and a wide opening in the discussions that anti-Hillary bias was real. A very interesting development. There was so much of a "hands of" mantra surrounding Obama that no one wanted to break through until the comedians did so.

    Just this morning on MSNBC the SNL spoofs were described as opening up a whole new discussion on Obama. As I said, very interesting.
