Question: Your most recent column included
a complaint about
Moment of Truth and its immoral premise. While I agree with the reader, I put more culpability on the competitors. If readers really want to get mad about the show, they should be angry at the complete fraud the show perpetuates. The questions are asked in advance, not at the time of the show. I hate the fake waiting time as the contestant waits to answer, but the really dumb part is that the contestants already know the questions that are coming, yet act surprised. Why would a contestant not prepare his/her family in advance? Play for the cameras to get your money, but don't tell me anyone is surprised by the answers! That's what makes this show truly stupid. It is not even honest with itself. This is why I didn't watch it after a test viewing. It is truly for the dumb.
Answer: I got several letters complaining about one aspect or another of this dreadful show in the wake of the last column, so let me just say one last time (before I put this topic back on the shelf of dreck where it belongs): Not only is
Moment of Truth an abhorrent show, but it is a patently dishonest one, and terribly produced to boot. It's the pits. Not that those who watch seem to mind. In every way possible, it is the worst show of 2008 (to date).
