Color me thoroughly underwhelmed. You want to see impressive action, come to DC where a bunch of us (writers, fans, viewers and Congresspeople) are taking real steps to settle this nonsense now and forever. I'm giving up my Sunday afternoon to talk with the DC area WGA writers and a bunch of other people so that more things like this happen: http://unitedhollywood.blogspot.com/2008/02/congressional-committee-urges-ceos-to.html I firmly stand by my recommendation that the shareholders of News Corp help Chernin the wussy get a new ‘day job’ if he’s not up to the task of making a fair and reasonable deal with the writers (and later with the actors). And I also recommend that those shareholders consider hiring a lawyer experienced in something called shareholder derivative actions. Game on Chernin...I can't wait to see your backside and those of the other moguls parked in a chair in front of a Congressional committee talking about real money. S.E.

They should be stuck in a room 5 days a week, hammering out a deal. Total BS. GET IT DONE!
