Answer 1

B. The media are for-profit businesses, unable to be fair or objective in the interest of the public

Step-by-step explanation:

The media are businesses whose main objective is profit maximization. It is also true that they are required by law to care for certain ethical standards but, in general, they show the contents that will attract a larger audience. They do not care on whether these contents can be giving visibility to candidates whose political proposals are bad for the welfare of citizens
