Journal Journal: Writers should blame Steve Jobs and not the studios? 4
Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner called the strike by the Writer's Guild a "Stupid Strike" and Steve Jobs should be to blame in his keynote speech on Wednesday morning at the Media and Money conference hosted by Dow Jones and Nielsen. According to Eisner, The studios "make deals with Steve Jobs, who takes them to the cleaners. They make all these kinds of things, and who's making money? Apple! They should get a piece of Apple. If I was a union, I'd be striking up wherever he is." Eisner is a well known critic of Apple and Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs is the president and CEO of Apple as well as a powerful member of Disney's board of directors.
