CBS news writers might go on strike? Do you mean that the news writers write fictional story lines just as their sitcom writing colleagues do????
Is Katie Couric unable to function without someone having written her a script?
To: LdSentinal
Is it still a strike if no one is watching?
To: LdSentinal
Good, less fake news the better.

Gee, the news people might have to go on camera without a script. Good question, what is the downside?
To: LdSentinal
CBS made what they said was their “final offer” and the writers threatened to strike. Problem: neither side believes the other, and neither does anyone else.

If it weren’t for these news stories I’d never know there was a strike.

They’re striking in professional sympathy with Hollywood’s striking fictions writers.
‘nuff said.

CBS has a news department? That’s news to me...I thought they were an arm of the Clinton Broadcast Station.

and the down side to this is?????? My thoughts exactly. Who knew CBS employed 'writers' like the kind you find in sitcoms and movies, to do the propaganda, er nightly news.

"CBS News is prepared for the possibility of a writers strike. We will continue to produce quality news programming for our viewers," CBS said in a statement. Continue?! How can they continue producing something they never produced in the first place?!
If this CBS writers' strike actually happens, it will be fascinating to see if the scab writers can't do a much better job than the old CBS writing hacks. They could scarely do worse.

Considering how the unionized work force at the Eye has done lately...scabs would be a step up, as far as I’m concerned.
