The media are for-profit businesses, unable to be fair or objective in the interest of the public. C. Candidates already in office receive more media attention than those who are trying to take their positions. D. People always vote for the person the media determine is most qualified, rather than the candidate who can bring about change. Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

B

Explanation:

The media are businesses whose main objective is profit maximization. It is also true that they are required by law to care for certain ethical standards but, in general, they show the contents that will attract a larger audience. They do not care on whether these contents can be giving visibility to candidates whose political proposals are bad for the welfare of citizens. I got this from someone.
