3. Question

We need look no further than the TV Guide to see how far our nation’s culture has fallen. Major television networks continue to embrace such intellectually devoid programming as “reality shows” to capture larger audiences and greater ratings. Now, instead of having the opportunity to learn something valuable from educational and stimulating television programming, we can hardly escape from shows in which young adults fight each other and make fools of themselves in an effort to win a date with an adult film star.

Which of the following best captures the message that the author of this web posting is trying to convey?

A. There is no need to worry about the current state of American culture and intellectualism; it’s as strong as it ever was.
B. Public television offers much more intellectually rewarding programming than cable, and intelligent and cultured individuals should not watch cable television.
C. There aren’t enough reality shows on network television, and networks need to further embrace this exciting new style of program.
D. TV networks are more interested in creating shows that garner high ratings than shows that educate their audiences, signaling a decline in American culture.
E. The TV Guide is a worthless publication and is the sole reason for the decline of American culture and intellectualism.
