Ellen DeGeneres defies the Writers’ Strike.
Posted on November 9, 2007 
Ellen DeGeneres and a few other syndicated program hosts have decided to press on with taping new episodes of their shows. Fans will not be disappointed with The View, The Oprah Winfrey Show and Regis & Kelly.
Ellen DeGeneres started her show without her usual monologue written by a writer. Ellen explained her decision to continue taping despite the on-going writers’ strike. She said that this was an important time in TV to show the best.
Ellen affirmed her love for her writers but said that she carried on her show because of her fans who had traveled the distance to attend the taping.
Do you support Ellen’s stance?

I have a question? On many of the blogs people are getting angry at crew members just for mentioning that they are concerned about the loss of their jobs and possibly their homes and retirement accounts over this strike. So many people don’t seem to understand that IATSE members are forbidden by contract from joining in and risk losing their jobs forever (even after the writers go back to work) for doing so. They are also ineligible for unemployment if they walk away from their jobs. My questions are A. What are these people realistically supposed to do when their hands are tied?
B. Are the people who can’t understand this predicament mean, selfish or just really stupid? I’d really, really like to know how someone could be so callous.
