Question
Which one of the following statements best reflects the crux of the above passage?
Options
Responsible media should not distort the real in an ideal democracy.
Fake news seems inherent in the life of an ideal democracy.
There should not be any kind of restrictions on the freedom of expression in an ideal democracy.
Irresponsible media and political leaders cannot be effectively controlled in an ideal democracy.
Explanation
The passage details how an uncompromised reality must circulate in a democracy[cite: 2125, 2126]. It explicitly concludes with a normative prescription for the press: "A normatively responsible media through its communication effect has the responsibility to circulate the content of reality without distortion". Option (a) directly restates this primary thesis. Options (b) and (d) introduce cynical, pessimistic assertions completely unsupported by the author's idealistic tone, while option (c) introduces broad legal parameters about censorship not addressed in the text.
Answer: (a).
