Rejected petition Bring back The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to UK Screens

More details

To bring back The Daily Show and The Colbert Report to our screens thus enhancing freedom of speech in the UK and prevent media moguls such as Rupert Murdoch controlling freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech is something the UK has in its arsenal over totalitarian regimes. By allowing media moguls to control what the British people watch is essentially equating us with totalitarian regimes.
It is for the good of the people of the UK that The Daily Show and The Colbert Report are allowed to be viewed in this country.
