Editorialist: The national media is composed of private companies that depend on ratings to increase advertising revenue, which depends on how many people watch. People are only going to watch topics they find interesting. In much the same way that the local news focuses on violent crimes, the national media focuses on political scandals. Topics such as election reform are rarely covered. The argument most strongly supports which one of the following assertions? ['The national media covers violent crimes.', 'Election reform is not interesting to people.', 'The national media only covers political scandals.', 'The local news focuses on political scandals as well as violent crimes.']
