Only the self-obsessed media cares about the Hollywood strike

There’s nothing the media hate more than a person who refuses to play by their rules. That’s a lesson Drew Barrymore learned the hard way. The actress was set to host the National Book Awards ceremony this fall – until she decided to continue her talk show. WGA and SAG-AFTRA may not be willing to move forward, but Barrymore is not allowed to either, though official union rules would have allowed her to continue the program without her writers.
