Voice actor and historian Craig Crumpton has written an open letter to the Hollywood trade papers (Variety and Hollywood Reporter) to complain about their coverage of the salary dispute in the Futurama negotiations. His point, and it's a good one, is that the articles put the actors in a negative light by making it seem like their demands were vastly more outrageous than they actually were. Both papers later quietly, and without the customary announcements of corrections, amended the online versions of the articles to tone down those assertions.
Obviously, we don't know exactly what happened here. But it's certainly not unprecedented for either paper to publish something that's planted by one side in a financial dispute to try and put pressure on the other side…and for the trade paper to pretend that the info came from some uninterested third party, rather than from the side doing the planting.
