No, you're not.

I think the fact that the media (as far as I have seen) have ignored the strike to the best of their ability or painted it in a bad light. If you look on the internet, depending on your sources for news, the bias can go either way. I think anyone who looks at both sides of this issue will find themselves sympathetic to the writers to a good degree. Unfortunately for the writers, most people are just pissed that their favorite shows aren't coming back, or are coming back with less than half the originally planned number of episodes and no more in sight, and feel like it is 100% the writers fault since they are striking.
