TheWGAhas taken a swipe atBill Maherafter the comedianrevealedhe was bringing backHBOsRealTimeduring the writers strike.
Bill Mahers decision to go back on the air while his Guild is on strike is disappointing.
If he goes forward with his plan, he needs to honor more than the spirit of the strike.

Bill Maher is obligated as a WGA member to follow the strike rules and not perform any writing services.
It is difficult to imagine howReal Time with Bill Mahercan go forward without a violation ofWGA strikerules taking place.
WGA will be picketing this show, it said in a statement.
Real Timeis coming back, unfortunately, sans writers or writing.
It has been five months, and it is time to bring people back to work.
Despite some assistance from me, much of the staff is struggling mightily, he wrote earlier.
The reach is enormous.
