Well done on the lawyers having a natural gift for comedy! Very funny.
Those are excellent points, especially about how much more we "know" the people behind the scenes, so they aren't just geeks typing away somewhere.
As far as biased reporting, what I see over here is lots of talk of the impact of the strike, but otherwise the coverage is quite pro-writer in terms of noting the big issues and showing footage of all the celebrities who support the writers. I have to say I don't know anyone who sides with the producers on this one, even if there will soon be nothing on TV! For myself, I'm looking forward to working through my Netflix queue. :)
Ron Moore was out marching today -- BSG had the same webisode battle that The Office folks did. http://tv.ign.com/articles/833/833633p1.html
I think it's key that many show-runners are also writers. They side with the craft, not the business side. It will be interesting to see how it all falls out and what enemies are made through all of this.
