L.A. Times not aware of the strike ?
By fred | November 12, 2007
Being the TVoholic that I ma I really do not like this strike, as you can imagine, and I urge every other TV fan or viewer to strike as well, in the common hope for this issue to be resolved sooner than later.
The strike is now entering its second week, and yet a couple of days back it still wasn’t big enough of a news for the Los Angeles Times to mention it. Just look at their front page, there are literally no mention of it whatsoever. And that after the WGA strike rally was a huge success with over 4 000 person showing up, making it the biggest in the guild’s history !!
Worst than that, the WGA march on Fox was reduced to a very brief story on page 2, in the Business section. And the paper used an unofficial estimate of 3 500 that one may wonder where they got it, because WGA’s estimate was of 4 000 while LAPD’s estimate was of no less than 5 000.
With the huge financial power the studios have thank to the incredible benefit they make off of DVD sales & on-line content, along with such misinformation, it’s hard to expect massive support for the writers by those who aren’t looking it up in the Internet, to get their facts right.
