Writer's Strike - Plain and Simple

I thought this article pretty much sums up what the WGA strike is all about - why its happening and what could end it. To quote from the article:

"So how do we get our point across, to people who don’t understand why we’re doing this? The best way I have found, is to say: everything on the internet? We get zero. They get everything. They get millions and millions and eventually billions and billions, and we get zero. And the “they,” here, is basically six of the biggest baddest companies in the world, run by men who annually receive salaries and compensation well north of 50 million dollars."

Sound fair? Methinks not.

On the same blog, I found a post about how the media is pretty much ignoring what is going on, due in no small part, I'm sure, to the fact that the local stations are owned by the large networks, which, in turn, are owned by the huge corporations who are at odds with the WGA. Still...the writer of this post has a point.

"You're telling me when 4,000 people show up in the streets of LA, shut down a main thoroughfare in the city, a laundry list of celebrities are on hand, Jesse Jackson addresses the crowd and the subject is an industry-wide strike some experts say could cost the local economy hundreds of millions of dollars, such an event only warrants 15 seconds at the end of the newscast?"
