Political advocacy groups have begun to use information services to disseminate information that is then accessed by the public via personal computer. Since many groups are thus able to bypass traditional news sources, whose reporting is selective, and to present their political views directly to the public, information services present a more balanced picture of the complexities of political issues than any traditional news source presents.
Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument above depends?

Which of the following is an assumption on which the argument above depends?
A.Information services are accessible to enough people to ensure that political advocacy groups can use these services to reach as large a percentage of the public as they could through traditional news sources.
B.People could get a thorough understanding of a particular political issue by sorting through information provided by several traditional news sources, each with differing editorial biases.
C.Information on political issues disseminated through information services does not come almost entirely from advocacy groups that share a single bias.
D.Traditional news sources seldom report the views of political advocacy groups accurately.
E.Most people who get information on political issues from newspapers and other traditional news sources can readily identify the editorial biases of those sources.
我的看法:
这个题目的逻辑链是政客可以通过information service 直接越过 traditional news resource,而后者通常都是一些有选择性的信息,所以结论是 information service能够提供一个更平衡的局面(来了解政治问题的多样性),注意结论的落脚点,据此找assumption。A选择是说的information service这个方式的受众的广泛性,而C选项是说政治立场的广泛性的问题,所以对。对C 取非结论就被削弱了。
