TV programmers say they give the public what it wants

Original: Los programadores de televisión dicen que ellos dan lo que el público pide. ¿En nombre de qué valor se puede combatir ta

Television programmers defend their schedules by claiming they simply give audiences what they ask for. Critics challenge this argument, asking what value can be invoked against it when scientists, philosophers and artists have concluded that in cultural matters everything is worth the same. The debate, tagged as demagogy, questions whether ratings-driven programming is a valid excuse for low-quality content.

Why now: A philosophical challenge to the ratings justification for television programming is circulating in Spanish-language discussion.
