Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

It is not B because no matter whether the government controls the news, the money used to print out the news is the same, it wouldn't vary.

It is can be C but if we compare answer A to answer C, the result shows that answer A is more of a "big deal" as mentioned in the question.

It is not D because the government controls what would be printed on the newspapers, which means, they have the opportunity to control what people write in the newspapers. The government can ban a passage from being posted because the control the whole news printing, therefore, people are not allowed to speak their minds
