I'm trying to keep up with Strike goings on here, since apparently the Media isn't going to do it, so I'm just going to dump a bunch of links here for great stories, websites, etc with strike info, as I'm very busy today.
If you're wondering why there's not much coverage blame the fact that most of it is owned by one of the giant corporations who the Writers are up against.
If there had been a protest/rally of 4000 (WGA estimate) to 5000 (LAPD estimate) people in any other city, or industry in the country it would have been on the front page of most papers across the country and all over CNN, Fox News, local news, etc. And I'm not sure how it is across the rest of the country, but here in LA where this is happening, it's been buried.
The LA times buried it in the Business Section, and not even on the front page. Most of the news broadcasts that did cover it, placed it well into the broadcast, if not at the end, and only did about 15 to 45 sec on it. In fact one channel had a story about kittens being brought into a police station to catch mice, which was at least 4 times as long as the WGA Rally coverage.

So here's some enlightenment:
