One of the men auditoning for a big comfy show-biz PR job in Forbeslist gives three pretty fair assertions why the Millionaires' Strike won't hurt TV:The strike won't cause consumers to abandon TV programming in favor of Web video.That would be like abandoning a big-screen HDTV for a fifteen-year-old Casio portable with a burned-out LCD.
The strike won't slow the networks' Internet initiatives.Because they need the invaluable experience of not knowing what they're doing.
The strike won't cause a mass advertiser exodus from prime time.Because it's OUR money to burn -- and who better to burn it?
