Thumbs Down

Last night while watching the still-Ebert-less Ebert & Roeper, I discover that they are no longer doing thumbs up and thumbs down on the show. Why? Ebert is using it as a negotiation tactic to sign a new contract with the show's distributor. Update: Ebert's response.

In a letter to <a href="http://poynter.org/forum/view_post.asp?id=12814" target="_blank">Romenesko</a>, Ebert says he not demand the removal of the THUMBS.

Thanks, added it. (Can't believe I missed this story earlier.)
