Sorry to start another thread on this but I didn't really see anything relevant in any of the other ones...
I'm curious as to how much media coverage the strike is getting. I'm in London for the semester so I don't really have access to American news other than the Internet and all I can find are articles about the failed talks this weekend. Is this really all the coverage the strike is getting?
It makes sense that the more exposure the strike is given, the more pressure both parties would be under to come to some sort of an agreement as soon as possible, rather than canceling an entire week's worth of performances without any more scheduled negotiations. I know theater isn't really at the front of the average American's mind, but New York is losing millions of dollars every day, and hundreds (or is it thousands?) of people are affected by the stubbornness of both parties involved. If a hit that big to the the NYC economy isn't news worthy I don't know what is...
Thoughts?

Does the sun really rise in the east?
Does the earth really spin around the sun?
What's it matter in the least?
What's real to me ain't real to everyone.
