The Good Fight

Chief WGA negotiator Dave Young posted this update to the WGA membership in response to the AMPTP's latest spin and weak attempts to divide the membership.

Deadline Hollywood reports that the writing is on the wall that the DGA (Directors Guild) is ready to fold like pup tents and cave-in to accept whatever crumbs the AMPTP will give them. The DGA's apparent willingness to toss the writers under the bus is unfortunate, but not unexpected.

DHD also has the scoop on the tens of millions Les Moonves just got paid for his new compensation package, for his failing CBS network.

Oh, but there's no money in the internet, animation and reality shows aren't written by writers, and there are weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. But, there's enough money around to give it all to Les Moonves.

BSG co-exec producer Mark Verheiden has an important update on his blog today that answers one of the key talking point lies of the sort Tom Short of the AMPTP IATSE like to spread around.

Also, FireDogLake reports on Mutant Enemy Day.

And writers sabotaged the taping of Carson Daly's show. YES!
