Reaction to Quiz Show

I found that the movie did a more interesting and entertaining job of retelling the quiz scandals that happened years before in this country than the book or any other history reference would, as most movies do. So I'm also pleased to hear that the movie was mostly accurate since it was based of the information of a historian. Themes that appeared in the movie include corruption and exposure of the truth, through such events as the setting up of the quiz shows and Van Doren's admittance at the end. I don't really feel that the quiz shows did anything wrong in setting up the quiz shows; they are not obligated to tell the whole truth to the public and they had a point: it's show business. However, I feel that the contestants that agreed to go along with the basically free money and fame were at the most fault for being tempted into the whole situation (although I feel it was harsh that Columbia fired Van Doren). Today's modern quiz shows seem to be able to go either way for me; I don't think they are always rigging their shows but I do not believe they are one hundred percent truthful either.
