Question 16 • American Government/Civics

Do news entities provide only the facts? Why or why not?

Answer
A
Yes, news entities provide facts and leave it to the individual to interpret them.
B
No, news entities offer opinions, debate, and interpretations of events.
C
No, news entities present only opinion-based information.
D
Yes, news entities report the facts, not what they think.

Explanation

News entities do not provide only facts; they also present opinions, debate, and interpretations of events. For example, commentary and analysis explain what an event may mean, which goes beyond simply reporting what happened. Choice B best captures this mix; choice C is too broad because news entities also report factual information.
