Answer:
I think because if the lower house were to give their opinions on something that the whole room was speaking on and all of the lower house members agreed and most of the upper house members disagreed then that would be a problem for the lower house members.

Answer: D. run stories that show how bad the economy has been under the current president
Explanation:
If there are two people running for president in an election and one candidate is the current president who wants to get re-elected.
The thing that the media could do to hurt the president's chances of getting re-elected is by running stories that show how bad the economy has been under the current president.
This will paint the president as someone bad who can't manage the economy and will give an upper hand to the opposition during the election.
