Answer 2

Television media perform a public service in the field of political education and we should form our opinions by listening to network commentators to get a well-rounded perspective are not true.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Television does not perform any "public service" in the field of "political education". It is the duty of television journalism to provide unbiased news and opinions about politics.

• Also, people must not form opinions by listening to commentators. In fact, people must gather political news and education from different sources and listening to different commentators.

• They must then study the different perspectives in depth before forming any opinion.
