Answer:

D. Any media form can provide content that is worthy or that panders to the worst in human nature.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mass media result from innovations in technology, like the radio, the Tv, and the internet and cell phone apps that target millions of people.

They are mostly used to entertain, to advertise but they can be also meant to educate, to inform, to bring people closer.

Since the mass media influences our perception of the world, they can be used to shape our political views.

The mass media tends to reflect the general public opinion but sometimes it can also foster debates, and make people more participative in public debates.

Traditionally some newspapers , speciliazed magazines, radio programs and TV shows were the main ways of mass media but with the coming of Internet the general public began to interact more and create channels for different human and social activities.
