The fact that this article has to be written (but not read: Huh?) says a lot about the fractions in the WGA. It amazes me how bad at message control these writers are. You'd think they'd post daily videos (not on social media, perhaps somewhere more forgiving, somewhere autonomous?) informing the public of their progress, even if the public is uninterested. It would be nice if they had a spokesperson offering daily updates so we could assess how we feel about their position(s). They're going to cut a deal before Labor Day, but the WGA should have been posting videos and information daily instead of relying on The Ankler and Penske to make their arguments to inform the curious. So don't expect the public to support you or demand a solution if you don't respect them enough to keep them informed. The media has nothing to do with your viewers, as they're here to make money. We'll see what the WGA ends up with, but it won't be a big improvement on what they had before the strike.
I mean ... perhaps we just automate business affairs so we can keep the writing room?
The long and short of it is the same as always. The distribution of the pie is being improperly shared. It’ll change, or there will be no more pie. Because the people that eat 90% of the pie have no idea how to make one. Seems pretty simple really.
