Answer:

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

Explanation:

The media's objective is to sway the public into believing what they say, and to essentially (though the term may be harsh) <em>brainwash</em> the viewer to see the situation as the media see's it, instead of allowing them to have their own objective view. Of course, it does not work 100% like this, but the way the media portrays events can definitely affect the view of a person.

For example, in recent events, President Trump proposed a tax deduction to help small businesses and the ordinary person to survive through the wake of the Corona-virus and the stay-at-home order. However, while it may seem like a good thing, the media <em>sways the public's opinion</em> to believe that the tax cuts were only beneficial to the wealthy. This sways people's beliefs of whether the tax cut was beneficial as a whole or not, but Trump did a tax cut, which is all that matters.

Another example can be found in a not-as-recent event, where President Obama signed tax cuts into law. Most media coverage of it was neutral at most, even positive sometimes. This shows that there is bias inside the media, and those who read, listen to, or watch certain media would be accustom to their way of thinking as well.

Remember, all media is there to make a profit, and to do so, they must 1) have large amounts of viewers, and 2) be able to influence others into seeing events the way they see it. There is no objective views in the media, for everybody has their own opinions, and own set of beliefs.

Which best explains how the united states became increasingly politically divided during the 1950s?
Inga [223]

The United States was divided by the liberal policies of older politicians and more conservative views of young Americans.

<h3><u>Who are liberals?</u></h3>
  • Since "liberal" and "liberty" have the same root, it can refer to anything from being "generous" to "loose" to "broad-minded."
  • A person who thinks that the government should actively encourage social and political transformation is referred to politically as such.
  • The term "liberal" is frequently applied to political parties in a number of other nations, albeit the stances taken by these parties don't always match the definition of "liberal" that Americans typically use.
  • The term has been linked to both the Democratic and Republican parties in the US, though typically in a descriptive rather than a titular meaning.
  • Liberalism is a political and moral ideology founded on the rights of the person, liberty, consent of the governed and equality before the law.

Depending on how they interpret these tenets, liberals hold a wide range of opinions, but in general, they back private property, a market economy, individual liberties, liberal democracy, secularism, the rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and religion.
