A short, thin line between reality and RTV

The article spoke about a directors standpoint of view on a reality TV show. In the case of "Teen Mom", if a fight were to break out, then a director either had the choice of intervening with the situation or just keeping the cameras rolling and the crew only being observers to the scene. The crew and cameraman are only consider third party members and they are not liable on the actions of the cast members of the show. This is according to a legal standpoint. However, from a moral standpoint, the cast has every responsibility to stop illegal actions from happening. One, because maybe the cast member is doing this on purpose in order to create more drama and hype for the show. If this sense is true, then the crew is reliable for that persons actions because they're presence instigated those actions. On another standpoint, if it is the mere nature of the cast member to carry out illegal actions, then the crew is not reliable for those consequences. Yet, many people have morals and there is always a line in which it is the duty of an individual to intervene in a situation so innocent people will not get hurt. The article showed scences from the shows "Intervention" and "Cops" in which people went to far in their actions, causing others to get hurt in the end. The line between reality and RTV is based on our morals, which can be a wide spectrum depending on the person.
