Ellen is a Lying Scab

Just when we were beginning to dislike Ellen DeGeneres over that Iggy snafu, she's given us a reason to turn that dislike into...extreme dislike. She's crossed the Writers Guild picket lines and is continuing to tape her talk show, claiming she loves her writers, but is showing up for her audiences, people who "have traveled across the country. They've made plans. They're here." Leno, Letterman, O'Brien, and Stewart also have audiences who traveled across the country and made plans, but they're airing reruns. DeDeneres seems more concerned with November sweeps than with the absent writers she dislikes. Sweeps, she told a recent studio audience, "is a very important time in television because that's when you do your best shows, your funniest material. You pull it out and do everything you can because you want everybody watching." So her shows and material are at their funniest best without writers? (People; HuffPo)
