question 2 of 10
which sentence best describes an objective news source?

a. no newsroom staff is present to filter information.

b. the tone of a newscast is not affected by the news anchors personal feelings.

c. the tone of a newscast is affected by the news anchors personal feelings.

d. some content is purposely left out by newsroom staff.

Explanation:

An objective news source should present information without being influenced by personal biases. Option A is incorrect as newsroom staff do filter information (e.g., for accuracy, not bias). Option C shows bias from the anchor’s feelings, so it's not objective. Option D involves purposeful omission, which is subjective. Option B states the tone isn't affected by the anchor’s personal feelings, meaning the news is presented objectively.

Answer:

B. The tone of a newscast is not affected by the news anchor's personal feelings.
