WGA Disappointed as 'Real Time' Returns Without Writers

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has criticized Bill Maher for deciding to bring back HBO's Real Time during the writers strike, calling it "disappointing." The guild plans to picket the show, stating that Maher, as a WGA member, should follow strike rules and not perform any writing services. Maher's announcement that he would return to work "sans writers or writing" has drawn criticism from writers on social media, with some referring to him as a "scab." However, he received support from Elon Musk, who suggested posting material on Twitter for its enormous reach.
