The press reports on political campaigns these days as if they were chess games. One candidate' s campaign advisor makes a move; the other candidate' s advisor makes a countermove. The press then reports on the campaign advisors and not on the candidates. The losers in this chess game are the voters. They are deprived of the information they need to make informed decisions because the press is ignoring substantive policy issues and reporting only on the process of the campaign. It is clear that the campaign advisors should stay out of the limelight and let the press report on the most revealing positions on substantive issues the candidates have taken. Which one of the following is an assumption upon which the argument in the passage depends? ['There is no difference between reporting on the political process and reporting on substantive issues.', 'The voters are not paying enough attention to the election to be able to make informed decisions.', 'The candidates in the election are taking positions on substantive policy issues.', 'How the press reports politics determines the substantive issues in the campaign.']
