Which statement is false?

Television became influential during the 1960s, but people were not completely trusting of it, and it was not generally seen as promoting individualism and peace. Television news often emphasized major headlines, while newspapers could provide more detail; live broadcasts also brought events such as the Vietnam War directly into viewers’ homes. So the false statement is A, which overstates public trust and mischaracterizes television’s effects.
