10. Broadcaster: Our radio station has a responsibility to serve the public interest. Hence, when our critics contend that our recent expose of events in the private lives of local celebrities was excessively intrusive, we can only reply that the overwhelming public interest in these matters makes it our responsibility to publicize them.

Which one of the following is a flaw in the broadcaster’s defense of the radio station’s practice?

(A) assuming without argument that there is a right to privacy

(B) ignoring grounds for criticism of the expose aside from intrusion into people’s private lives

(C) intentionally failing to specify what is meant by “excessively intrusive”

(D) confusing legal responsibility with moral obligation（E）

(E) improperly exploiting an ambiguity in the phrase “public interest”

請問答案e是為什麼?我覺得答案d很好,broadcast有義務要滿足大眾好奇心,又違反法律..............還是說錯誤是因為不一定有違法呢？謝謝

叮当

Our radio station has a responsibility to serve the public interest. Here "interest" means 利益.

"...Our radio station has a responsibility to serve the public interest..."　means 兴趣 or 好奇心...

But I still think that ETS is stupid. Who knows what the Broadcaster really wants to say?  Let's just suppose that he/she is a 表面上道貌岸然之士．当然in fact, they are no doubt 男盗女娼...

可是我還是有點不懂,就算interst有兩種解釋,也不一定代表"improperly"或"ambiguity"

利益和兴趣当然不同了，大众追逐明星的八卦新闻，不就是为了自己的兴趣么，和大众的利益有何关系？broadcaster就是把这两者混为一谈.

原文的推断根本没有基于moral obligation or legal responsibility, so D is wrong.
