Also just heard that the (NY-based) soap opera writers are beginning to cross picket lines to keep working "someone" is starting rumors about writers crossing picket lines, that ARE NOT TRUE...and other blacklisting rumors as suggested on Sitrep today.
Yet I am pretty clear-eyed that these guys should hold firm and beat Big Media on this. The problem is that Big Media isn't going to starve after 5 months of this shit.
I have a hard time lambasting corporate media these days, since so much of the TV/film I consume is funded solely by them (or at least distributed by them). But the moguls are so frakking wrong on this issue, it just hurts.
I hope Marc Andreessen turns out to be right about the engame of all this drama. *dreams of a better day*
