Why is it illegal to have a quiz show which gives out the answers ?
I don't understand why this whole case needed to go in front of Congress. They weren't breaking any laws. The show is strictly entertainment. That's the whole goal of any television show - entertainment. So, they should be able to do whatever they want with a show. It's not like it's on TV as a government-funded educational program.
Was it morally wrong ? Sure. But does that really mean it needs to be turned into a congressional hearing ? Does this mean we would have Congressional hearings if we find out CBS is helping the contestants of Survivor behind the scenes as well ?
