16. The public is aware of the possibility of biases in the mass media and distrusts the media as too powerful. The body of information against which the public evaluates the plausibility of each new media report comes, however, from what the public has heard of through the mass media. If the view above is correct, it provides a reason for accepting which one of the following conclusions？ （A） If there is a pervasive bias in the presentation of news by the mass media, it would be hard for the public to discern that bias. （B） The mass media tailor their reports to confirm to a specific political agenda. （C） The biases that news media impose on reporting tend not to be conscious distortions but rather part of a sense they share about what is interesting and believable. （D） News reporters and their public hold largely the same views about what is most important in society, because news reporters come out of that society. （E） When a news event occurs that contradicts a stereotype formerly incorporated into reporting by the mass media, the public is predisposed to believe reports of the event. 谁帮我解释下文章最后一句的意思。。没有懂。。。
感觉像这样。。。 however,The body of information comes from what the public has heard of through the mass media ,against which (the mass media )the public evaluates the plausibility of each new media report
The public evaluates the plausibility of media reports based on the information they are given by the media.
It is pointing out that the public forms opinions about the media, but their opinions may be I'll-formed (bad or wrong). The only things people know about the media are what the media tells them. This means that the media is already influencing their opinions by choosing what to tell them. Generally, it is important for people to have a lot of good information before they form opinions. If they are not given good information, they cannot form good opinions. If the media does not give good information, then the people cannot make good opinions.
