Answer:

C) people have stopped thinking critically

Step-by-step explanation:

Neil Postman's "Amusing Ourselves to Death: Public Speaking in the Age of Show Business" showed the negative side of television. The author says that the news transmitted by TV is accepted by people as true, even if they are false. This is because television has created a society where people have lost their critical sense and for this reason accept any information as true without validation.
