Maybe that's what struck me about the way it was being reported--there was an attitude of this being *HORRIBLE* news for the writers and a *HUGE SHOCK* to anyone involved withscripted television, woe-is-them. To me, it was kind of a no brainer.

But it's also a good reason why the WGA needs to win over the reality show writers/win over their members to including the reality show writers/win over the studios to allowing them to increase their bailiwick.
