DeGeneres Under Fire For Crossing Picket Line
NOV 9, 2007 AT 11:31 AM
While other shows are shutting down and actors are joining the writer's guild during their strike, Ellen DeGeneres crossed the picket lines and continued with her taping. But it was all with good intentions she's insisting. Ellen realized that the majority of her audience made travel arrangements to be part of her show and didn't want to disappoint. Now, Hollywood protesters are making it known that it was the wrong move. DeGeneres is trying her hardest to make everyone happy. Here is what she told her audience the day of the taping.
"I want to say I love my writers. I love them. In honor of them today, I'm not going to do a monologue. I support them and hope that they get everything they're asking for. And I hope it works out soon. In the meantime, people have traveled across the country. They've made plans. They're here. I want to do everything I can to make your trip enjoyable and give you a show."
This isn't her season is it? First the whole dog adoption issue and now this.

It amazes me how quickly people can turn ! I bet shes having nitemares of the last time she was cast from Hollyweird.
I think that in her defense, people have made plans and travelled to see her show. she should do her best to entertain them while still nodding that something needs to be done for the writers
altough she didn´t seem to mind cancelling the show when the whole dog issue happened. what about the audience then??
