MTV is getting political. The network, which has long been an advocate of encouraging young voters, is now accepting political advertisements for the first time.

After 100 days without writers, TV shows began to return to normal yesterday after most of the striking writers voted to return to work.

Writers for Comedy Central’s The Daily Show were back to work on Wednesday morning, making Jon Stewart one of the first late-night hosts to return to his pre-strike glory.

Before cameras rolled in the Manhattan studio, Stewart seemed pretty pumped up. Bruce Springsteen’s “Born to Run” blared, and he mouthed lyrics and drummed along on his desk while looking over his first script in more than three months.
