I got this wrong, but I don't know how else (other than the usual practice/takes more time trope) to change my reasoning. I was able to POE many of the answers, except for A. I eliminated D, correctly assuming that the public's attention is something journalist wanted. But for the previous portion of the answer, "A basic principle of journalism etc" , I felt thought the best way for a journalistc to stimulate debate/controversy was NOT fact check or newmakers claims. I reasoned that false/ unsupported claims were MORE controversial and likely to be debated! That's why I eliminated D. It made sense that a journalist wouldn't check quote veracity to get viewers to react/debate to ridiculously false claims.
I guess I overlooked 'A' thinking a disputed claim by a publication/journalist wouldn't be enough of an explanation as to why a journalist would not fact check claims. I was so sure of D being the answer. When I'm so confident of the answer and it makes sense to me on both the first try and blind review, I get deeply discouraged and just feel dumb. Lol.
I missed the last few questions, so I chose the right answer the first time on this and changed it in the blind review because I was doubting myself! I need to build up my confidence.
I redid the question twice and watched the explanation multiple times and for some reason this question is completely not clicking for me at all - I think the stimulus just doesn't make sense to me for some reason so if anyone can explain just one more time that would be great!!
My fatal flaw... I acknowledged it was an EXCEPT question, was between two answers, then stepped away to say goodbye to someone, came back, forgot what I was doing, and picked the wrong one because I forgot it was an "except"
I'm pretty convinced AC D is also Fox News. Considering the way journalism works today, I would never assume that "debate over controversial issues" refers to article corrections, fact checking, or debates between journalist and editor. It is extremely common now for "newspapers" to report false claims to stir debate among viewers/readers, thus creating more engagement.

I accidentally read the question stem wrong during both tries, leading to incorrect answers. I need to slow down and not get ahead of myself.

I need to stop reading the question stem too fast. I always don't notice the except.
Right because CNN and MSNBC arent equally as bias as FOX. Lol.
haha my brain said Fox News before he did

these questions are going to be the end of me

C could've been explained with another one which its answer choice provides a great segway: CNN.
I laughed because I too thought fox news when I read C
My fatal flaw... I acknowledged it was an EXCEPT question, was between two answers, then stepped away to say goodbye to someone, came back, forgot what I was doing, and picked the wrong one because I forgot it was an "except"
