The WGA strike is getting to be a big political issue: Democratic Presidential candidates Clinton, Obama and Edwards have all come out in support of the WGA.
Political blogs are also spreading the word about the strike; a DailyKos diarist by the nom de e-plume of Tasini typed up a report on how things are going at the picket lines in NYC.
The feedback is positive and the support is overwhelming. The fight for fairness continues.
Update from the comments: A commenter sends word that Pajamas Media, a conservative blog, has chimed in with a sympathetic article. It's great to see that fairness and equality in new media revenues is a bi-partisan concern.

What dismays me is the anger and hate directed at the writers and what they are fighting for. And this is from both conservatives AND liberals. Do they think writers can just put a tv show on the air? Or want to put crap shows on the air? I just love the "oh, all the writers do is crap so f-them" argument. There is no creative process anymore. There is no development anymore. I knew we were doomed when I first heard "I have to run this by marketing".
Writers. So selfish. So greedy. So rich....

You think "Tasini" might be Jonathan Tasini?
Duh.
