What answer is correct

Read the excerpt from "Bias in the Media." It is impossible to consider today's press as truly objective in the face of so much evidence to the contrary, despite the profession's claims that objectivity is its highest goal. It is the failure to own up to this inherent bias that is most concerning. As always, most news sources subtly, or not so subtly, influence the news that the public is given. The question is, do people realize it? Lippman believed that the role of journalists was to interpret the news for the public so that individuals could make real choices and judgments based on the information that they were given. The public, consumed by daily life, might simply assume that information is neutral and unbiased. However, American journalism remains plagued by the same array of hidden and not so hidden agendas evident since revolutionary times. The fact that ordinary people may not notice-or, more specifically, care-is the truer threat to democracy. How effective is the author's support of the claim that the press is not always objective?
