PrepTest 50, Section 3, Question 4
Politician: Suppose censorship is wrong in itself, as modern liberals tend to believe. Then an actor's refusing a part in a film because the film glamorizes a point of view abhorrent to the actor would be morally wrong. But this conclusion is absurd. It follows that censorship is not, after all, wrong in itself.

The reasoning in the politician's argument is most vulnerable to criticism on the grounds that this argument
presumes, without providing justification, that actors would subscribe to any tenet of modern liberalism
uses the term "liberal" in order to discredit opponents' point of view
takes for granted that there is a moral obligation to practice one's profession
draws a conclusion that is inconsistent with a premise it accepts
presumes, without providing justification, that declining a film role constitutes censorship in the relevant sense
