    How is this a cross?

    The writers are on strike. This show isn't using writers. So how, exactly, is this defying the strike?

    It seems to me that the writers are trying to overstate their importance, by equating themselves with TV in general (scripted or unscripted). I'll need a pretty convincing explanation before I'll believe that line of reasoning.
