In this passage, the words in italics <em>“But not to compel the media to pay attention.,”</em> are a fragment of the whole sentence or clause because, by itself, the fragment does not make much sense when you isolate it from the main clause, as the independent clause does (e.g. <em>"Each candidate will have exactly the same rights to formulate his or her policy proposals."</em>) As you see, this sentence makes perfect sense even without the fragment that starts from <em>"But...,"</em> and it cannot either be a subordinate clause since the conjunction 'but' is a coordinating conjunction that gives equal importance to two ideas; it is only used for coordinate clauses (i.e. two main sentences.)

In "The Cask of Amontillado", Fortunato is tricked by the narrator into going down into the passages underneath the narrator's home to test the quality of a cask of Amontillado (wine). Along the way, the narrator gets Fortunato so drunk that when they reach their destination, he is too unaware to defend himself. The narrator had prepared ahead of time and Fortunato finds himself chained to the wall in a passageway, and there he must stay as he watches the narrator pick up mortar and bricks that were placed there ahead of time and slowly build a wall in front of Fortunato. When the wall is finished, he is left down in the new room to die.
