Every writer is speaking with their whole chest and government name and every exec is speaking from the shadows of a poorly lit parking lot in a trench coat and wide brimmed hat.
I think we should know the names of the executives who said they intend to make writers lose their homes. That shouldn’t be a statement you can confidently give to the press without facing repercussions. I’m talking legal action, targeted protests, spells & curses, etc.

Back when I was a writers pa my job one day was to put together a list of everyone who had ever written on the Harvard Lampoon in the last 10 years so that the exec could reach out for samples.
No disrespect to B.J. Novak, whose work I love, but a survey of TV writers' rooms will tell you that a Harvard degree is pretty much the opposite of "the worst thing to have on a comedy resume."
