I don't even think there would be this perception if certain vocal "big
business" sup****ters weren't putting this perception out there. I mean
really, who in the general public doesn't want to get paid more for what
they do. Especially if their salary hasn't kept up with the cost of
living.
If the big media companies are making money off their employees in ways
that as never imagined before (or planned for), then those employees
deserve to get paid for that. Just as much as the average Joe deserves
to get that raise they could really use.
The real remains though. "CSI Miami" has writers?!
