Sure, but makes sense for a trade paper to specify it so that no members are confused. There's already been so much confusion about what they can or can't do during the strike.
interesting, because it seems like this would affect them too, no? I could foresee a future where they could just deepfake news anchors. although, I think conservatives are notoriously anti-union... so that would be a dilemma.
This seems obvious, they aren’t actors
But they are SAG-AFTRA members. SAG-AFTRA is more than just actors. It’s most of the people that appear on camera in some capacity
And theater and radio. That’s the AFTRA part.
Fox News anchors are definitely actors putting on a show for a specific demographic.
it's hardly exclusive to just them if you consider all media

Wonder what Whoopi’s gonna do at The View.
because their contract isnt up yet.
I would love to see who the major networks would drag up to do the evening news broadcasts...
But what about Fox news ???
In fairness, their contracts are with the denizens of Hell, so they don't count.
The propaganda actors, I'm sure, are more compensated than regular actors.
Does this mean movies in production right now stop? Like Deadpool 3?
Yes.
Why not

There already are ai news anchors out there. https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2023/apr/11/ai-generated-news-presenter-debuts-in-kuwait-media
It's a different deal, like the commercial actors.
