CBS News has settled its issues with its writers, producers, editors, artists and assistants. Since April 2005, their staff of 500 has been working without a contract, which contributed to a canceled presidential primary debate last month. Good thing the primary continues!

Under the new contract, which has yet to be approved by the union, employees will receive a 3.5 percent raise for the next two years. (Um, isn't that the rate of inflation?) Awesome for the news writers, but we’d really like to see entertainment writers work out their issues with CBS. We’d really like to know how Ted Met Our Mother.
