The moralist concludes that TV talk shows are contributing to moral decline. This is because the shows portray the least moral people, which makes viewers think being immoral is normal and that thereβs something wrong with being morally upstanding.
The hostβs implicit conclusion is that thereβs nothing wrong with what her TV talk show is doing. She asserts that any moral decline, if it exists, isnβt caused by TV talk shows. She also asserts that thereβs nothing wrong with letting viewers decide what they want see. Additionally, she claims that any restrictions on her show would be censorship, and therefore wrong.
Weβre looking for a point of disagreement. The speakers disagree about whether TV shows are a cause of moral decline. The moralist thinks they are, and the host thinks theyβre not.
