Uh-Oh: CBS Newswriters' Strike Next?
Just as a teensy bit of light appears to be breaking through the clouds on the WGA/Producers' front, another weather front is moving into New York, and this occlusion (so to speak) could scuttle the Dec. 10 candidate debate on the network.
Per a report on CBS, newswriters - who voted to authorize a strike a week and half ago - are "strongly considering" a Dec. 10 walk-out. Here's the story from CBS's Chicago owned station, WBBM:
"News writers for CBS are ''strongly considering' a Dec. 10 strike date, casting doubt on whether the network will be able to air its planned presidential debate.
"The timing of the strike appears to be an attempt by union leadership to disrupt CBS plans for a presidential debate the same day. A spokeswoman for the writers guild said today that no date has been officially set, but that Dec. 10 'is a date that we are strongly considering.'"
"Several Democratic presidential candidates-including Illinois Sen. Barack Obama, John Edwards and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton--have said they would not cross a picket line to participate in a debate."
Also, check out Drudge, who's reporting that the network brass is meeting right now, and leaning to cancellation. And "Katie," Drudge confidently informs readers, "is not happy."
More details as they come...
