Big Media, Anti-Trust Laws & Screen Actors Guild Contract: Full Disclosure video (9 min)

Los Angeles, CA. In a ten minute video news blog the Full Disclosure Network® presents leaders of the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and membership who point to the real danger of the proposed contract with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). Scott Wilson, says that “the collective bargaining is all about the Internet where the Big Media has a stranglehold. Ed Asner unhesitatingly describes the moderates as “walking softly and carrying a little stick”, when it comes to negotiations. Watch video here: URL: http://www.fulldisclosure.net/Blogs/69.php

EXTINCTION OF ACTING PROFESSION?
The divided SAG leaders describe themselves as “threatened with extinction” or they call themselves “Moderates” who are more compliant with the power that controls the industry.

BUREAUCRATS BOW TO INFLUENCE?
SAG membership leaders say the conditions are very similar to the conditions that created the Anti-Trust laws enacted by the Congress years ago. And, the question is asked why are those laws are not being applied to the Big Media that now controls the production of movies and television, while distributing the product and transmitting it over cable lines and the internet that they also control.
