Fun with a non sequitur

The New York Times has a story with the headline “When Reality TV Gets Too Real.” It’s about the potential for legal trouble for show producers when participants, well, behave badly. Okay. I get that.

Now jump over to an LA Times story about how Hollywood’s all a-twitter over a potential strike by the Writer’s Guild. Those are the people who write scripted shows for TV.

One of the issues is that the union wants to extend guild pay and benefits to, you guessed it, reality shows.

Um, huh?
