I think it's about time this story gets moved to Entertainment and stays there. Thanks HuffPost for wasting more space. I don't remember any other labor actions garnering this much press.

Convenient timing. The AMPTP strikes a deal with the DGA and is now prepared to re-open negotiations with the WGA immediately after they force majeure the studio writer and producer deals out of existence.

Once the WGA deal is closed (and I suspect it will be soon), there needs to be an immediate investigation into the AMPTP's bad faith negotiations. If I'm right, this could end up costing the studios and networks a lot more than money.
