Just to review: A week or so ago, the two men vying for the presidency of the Writers Guild were engaged in a slap-fight, calling each other liars and making it look like our union was rupturing from within. Over at her much-read blog, Nikki Finke posted every accusation…which is fine. She covers industry news and this is industry news.
Wednesday night at a Candidates Forum at the Guild, all the quarrellers hugged and kissed and said it was all a misunderstanding. I haven't seen Nikki Finke post a word about that yet.
In fairness, her site has recently undergone a software makeover and posting was limited for a few days there. But it's back and she's reporting the box office grosses for Labor Day Weekend. When is she going to get around to mentioning that the candidates are no longer standing behind some of those accusations she previously disseminated? Since members are filling out their ballots at the moment, it's kind of newsworthy.
