Update on the Writers Guild strike...
A few days ago, hopes were high that a deal to end a costly five-week strike by thousands of Hollywood writers was imminent. But optimism that writers and producers would soon sign a new pact all but crumbled Friday, as talks broke down and the sides blamed each other for the stalled negotiations that have sidelined many prime-time and late-night TV shows.
"We're puzzled and disheartened by an ongoing WGA (Writers Guild of America) negotiating strategy that seems designed to delay or derail talks rather than facilitate an end to this strike," the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers said in a statement.

"puzzled and disheartened"!? The AMPTP walked out of the talks saying they're not coming back until the WGA takes six of their propositions off the table, and THEY say that they're "puzzled and disheartened"?
Studios, start listening to the public. The writers need a better deal.
