Speaking to Deadline on the Oscars red carpet, Sony chief Tom Rothman said he wasn’t overly concerned about a potential work stoppage, because he believes the situation will yet be worked out

politely declined to comment on the WGA situation, saying only, “I don’t want to talk about that tonight.”

At the WGAW Awards last weekend, guild President David A. Goodman did not back away from the idea of a strike, “Everyone seems to think a strike is happening,” he said. “In part it’s an effort by our employers…to force and calm everyone down and say we won’t, and thus give up our greatest leverage. Well, I’m not going to say that. It’s dangerously naïve to think that a strike is never necessary”.

One of the just approved by membership WGA Pattern of Demands would “require signatory companies to negotiate only with agents franchised by the WGA,” That demand alone could spark a strike come May 1, when the guild’s current contract expires, because the AMPTP already flatly rejected a similar proposal last March.

DNC chairman: We can’t force Iowa to change“There are some states that still have caucuses where I'm not sure the Republican governor would sign the law to have the election,' Perez said. Yes Iowa needs to change and Tom Perez needs to be resigned. Sounds like a dictator. The DNC can change the rules to push states with larger populations to vote first, then smaller state caucuses. But it doesn't matter because there will never be another trusted election in the US again. The PRESS failed miserably in their role in informing the public w facts.
