Comments on: why the writer’s strike matters https://globalspin.com/2007/11/why-the-writers-strike-matters/ a glimpse into the tiny mind of Chris Radcliff Sat, 01 May 2010 03:53:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8 By: Nicole https://globalspin.com/2007/11/why-the-writers-strike-matters/comment-page-1/#comment-78060 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 01:16:11 +0000 http://globalspin.com/2007/11/15/1079/#comment-78060 Sadly, this seems to me to be another case where large corporations or organizations are unfairly reaping the benefits of others’ work, not unlike what happens in most businesses (with the justification of the bottom line for shareholders). The web/tv distinction is the only real novelty, and the middle-class status (I assume) of most writers.

There’s also a great youtube video of a not-the-daily-show take on the whole thing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzRHlpEmr0w.
