When typos get it right...

We've all seen unintentionally ironic typos, where a presumably innocent error results in a sentence that's more honest than the writer would ever have intended. Yahoo has one of these in their news feed this morning, sourcing a Reuters/Hollywood Reporter piece about how the Writers Guild strike might affect the Golden Globes awards telecast. To clarify the quote below, Dick Clark Productions pruduces and owns a portion of that awards show.

[Dick Clark Prods] also noted that it was not a member of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television and Producers, the studios' bargaining ram.

(That's my emphasis there at the end.)

That's a pro-labor typo if I've ever seen one.
