TV Squares misleads on cabinet status of Postmaster General
In a Friday Hollywood Squares broadcast a quiz confusion misled viewers about cabinet membership. The guest claimed the Postmaster General belonged to the cabinet, but host Peter Marshall ruled the Vice President was correct. The piece notes the Postmaster General was cabinet head from 1828 to 1970, and after the Postal Reorganization Act the role lost cabinet status, dating the show to pre 1970. It warns that prime time antique programs may mislead if age or current status isn’t stated.
