Which of the following "pros" of independent news does this blog illustrate?

9:00 a.m. 10/11/07: Today is the day after a massive earthquake. My house is safe.
10:22 a.m. 10/11/2007: I just returned from the town square. Looters have overrun the shops. I can't even believe that people are that heartless. Who needs a big-screen television when there's no electricity? People like that make me sick.
Noon 10/11/2007: The president will be touring the city tomorrow. He is expected to arrive at 6:00 p.m. He will meet with the mayor, but not the sheriff. The president's very kind and generous.

Answer: C. the ability to provide commentary on the news.

"Independent news" are those that are not affiliated with a particular corporation or government. Therefore, these organizations claim to be objective and to report the news with no bias. One of the advantages of these companies is that they have the ability to provide commentary on the news, as they do not need to worry about pleasing a particular group of people or adhering to a certain ideology.
