I'm curious what was in the counter offer provided by the union.

I asked. They replied which I appreciate but we get to keep wondering. 

@Vee Clearly someone's PR people got on the line.

My first thought.

I had a feeling individual studios and companies would continue breaking with AMPTP/the streamers, and I was right (AMPTP denies this, of course):

Yeah it’s almost as if the entire strike is just a couple of studio heads having ego issues and Netflix not wanting any kind of transparency. Everybody else seems poised to deal.

The attitude of be thankful for the crumbs I give you and tell everybody else how wonderful I am belongs to the egos, like a comically inept King. And Netflix increasingly seems like they are desperately hiding just how much money they make and it’s either way more or way less, and they don’t want anyone to know about it.

Barry Diller suggested as much weeks ago.

They could’ve just stayed off the air and run ATWT reruns in its place and probably would have gotten better ratings.

Guess we'll be seeing lots of soap stars on talk shows.

Anyone know the difference between The Talk/The View and The Drew Barrymore Show, and why there's uproar for one (TDBS) and not the other?

I've been thinking the same thing all day!

I guess none of the other daytime talk shows have writers?
