Which one is NBC's? The one Carson Daily is washing. Nice!

I'm with you. Murdock is a jerk. These guys are great.

I find it harder to back the WGA when I see petty demonstrations like this one. What did this accomplish?

[camshaff]

Comments from an intelligent young man on WGA Channel: GreenDay1981 Bunch of selfish crybabies. Like these idiots don't make enough money. All they care about is themselves. If they can afford to be out of work this long, they shouldn't be striking. People like me make a lot less than they do, but you don't see us striking to get more money. Pretty sad that these greedy pieces of trash want to screw the general public just to fill their own wallets. Get back to work, you careless selfish bums!

Liz I didn't say you wouldn't see me anymore, gosh I've missed you. I haven't kept up, is the end of the strike really nearing? My employers? I'm retired and live off my 401K and IRAs and other petty investments.  That's why I have time to doodle on YouTube defending the good guys.

Have you noticed the flurry of anti-WGA postings on pro-strike sites? Last ditch effort by your employers?

I take your word that I won't see your name anymore though, you've moved on to the next temp job now that the end of the strike is nearing.

[camshaff]

Liz, you're talking to me again, you've forgiven me? How sweet. Have you noticed that the WGA videos mostly receive fewer than 10 response comments these days? America and me have moved on. If you don't want to work by all means stay on strike, my son has a new job and 99.9999% of Americans enjoy alternative entertainment. Happy New Year!

Bill Maher workes for Time Warner, one of the 'big 6'...a member of the AMPTP. Who do you think it's more likely he's being threatened or given direct orders by?

[lizjewelry]

The AMPTP walked away from the tables, per an agreed tactic 45 days ago. Quit talks. Walked away. 45 days of no work, loss of wages, and prolonged strike all b/c of the AMPTP. Get your facts straight.

Or just keep trolling away.

Better the words of LA weekly (just one source)than my own:

"AMPTP staffers, consultants and members (especially corporate publicity departments) are busily posting comments on WGA-friendly websites and blogs...filling them with hate-filled rants against the WGA leadership, the A-list actors, and the companies who've made WGA side deals. The goal is to turn off readers and drive traffic away and in the process spread pro-AMPTP propaganda...."

[camshaff]

Liz I totally understand why you and the WGA have pulled back from the table and refused to talk as your positions are indefensible (and by the way AMPTP if you pay me as Liz has falsely accused, I'll clean up my grammar and even check my spelling, lol). And Liz, have a nice life cruzing back to your beachfront home in your Mercedes as food services workers apply for unemployment.

Who cares about AMPTP? They're no better than the WGA. But there is good news, my son's found work in Florida where "Right to Work" laws protect crews from the WGA's devious tactics, inconsistent demands, threats and thuggery. The majority of Producers just want to be able to create artistic works profitably. The WGA blocks others from working; Producers would glady go back to work today. Hmmmm, where does the problem lie?
