D- Television media performs a public service in the field of political education.

This is NOT true of television joumalism.

Step-by-step explanation:

The television media is referred to as the media which goes on in radio, TV news or any other news format except the print media. Nowadays, TV media focus on private well being rather than public. The media sells news to its viewers to increase their TRP, rather than providing the public with relevant information. It cannot be referred as a public service anymore.

Broadcast journalist practice the system of paid news nowadays, paid news refers to system of news telling where a channel or a journalist recites biased news or news with which they get money in return. Political parties influence news channels to increase their party's goodwill and pay them in return. Hence, TV journalism does not provide public service by providing political education.
