C. Why? ”25 All and all, this was a genteel criticism of a crass portrayal. The superficiality of the Philanthropist was out of whack with the depth and seriousness of what philanthropy actually offers. While newspapers have come a long way, entertainment producers either cannot grasp the importance and real impact of the nonprofit world or they don’t think their audience can.
