The new CBS reality show *The Briefcase* is criticized as "poverty porn" for forcing struggling families to choose between keeping $100,000 or giving it to another needy family. Critics argue the show is patronizing and exploitative, designed to make viewers feel superior to the "sad and pathetic" participants. Despite its high production value, the program is predicted to be a flop due to its offensive premise.
