看了答案也不是很明白 有人可以解释一下吗
53. When investigators discovered that the director of a local charity had repeatedly overstated the number of people his charity had helped, the director accepted responsibility for the deception. However, the investigators claims that journalists were as much to blame as the director was for inflating the charity’s reputation, since they had naively accepted what the director told them, and simply reported as fact the numbers he gave them.


Which one of the following principles, if valid, most helps to justify the investigators’ claim


A.Anyone who works for a charitable organization is obliged to be completely honest about the activities of that organization.
B.Anyone who knowingly aids a liar by trying to conceal the truth from others is also a liar.
C.Anyone who presents as factual a story that turns out to be untrue without first attempting to verify that story is no less responsible for the consequences of that story than anyone else is.
D.Anyone who lies in order to advance his or her own career is more deserving of blame than someone who lies in order to promote a good cause.
Anyone who accepts responsibility for a wrongful act that he or she committed is less deserving of blame than someone who tries to conceal his or her own wrongdoing.

这题选C吧？
如果是C的话，就请看下面解释。
Justify的题目，premises+answer choice= conclusion. --by lawyer.
文中，结论：journalist 应该被blame到跟director 同一个程度。原因：they simply accept what the director told them. 这之间的gap还是比较大的。J可能会问 “我们report的没错啊，因为确实director就是那么说的啊！”
所以答案要说明“就算你确实report the real number, but you are still responsible". 为什么呢？就是因为C说的，你要report之前必须要找到这个是不是准确的消息。
其他选项：Ａ，无关，Ｊ不是ｗｏｒｋ　ｆｏｒ　慈善机构；　
Ｂ：" knowingly aid a liar" 错，文中没说记者知道数字是错误的。
D：一样，文中没说记者ｌｉｅｓ
Ｅ：跟原文相反，说的记者反而不应该那么被责备。
