Uh – Come Again?

The Writers Guild of America reportedly has dismissed the “New Economic Partnership” proposed yesterday by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers.


Said the WGA, “For the first three days of this week, the companies presented in essence their [pre-strike] package with not an iota of movement on any of the issues that matter to writers. Thursday morning, the first new proposal was finally presented to us. It dealt only with streaming and made-for-Internet jurisdiction, and it amounts to a massive rollback.”

Well, that’s just silly, AMPTP.


Negotiation talks are scheduled to resume on Tuesday.

And so, writers, like 30 Rock’s Tina Fey (pictured at right), continue to strike – and viewers run out of things to watch on TV.
