Democratic presidential debate canceled over strike

DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE CANCELED OVER STRIKE
A televised debate set for next month among the Democratic presidential candidates will be canceled to avoid a potential conflict with striking Hollywood screenwriters. The decision by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) came after several candidates said they would not cross picket lines of the Writers Guild of America, which has been on strike against major film and television studios since November 5. Eight Democrats running for the White House originally had agreed to take part in a debate on December 10 at the CBS Television City studio in Los Angeles, where striking writers have been picketing.
