question feels like a "all of these are true EXCEPT" so look for the one that is FALSE (i read through the options, pretended they were true and see if it would flow into the stimulus smoothly or "logically"). wrong answer stuck out like a sore thumb.
For D, is it possible that the attention of the public could be a negative element for a newspaper? I understand how rational people could assume, "all publicity is good publicity." Kind of having trouble about when or when not to use my outside knowledge and I got screwed with this question by choosing C. As I did not understand who was challenging these claims.
@Scascio Exactly why I chose C instead of D. I assumed that the journalists did not want to draw 'negative' attention of the public which is why they were not openly challenging
I'm finding that I tend to misunderstand some of these "except question" answer choices on the first round. Then the blind review seems much more obvious. The grammar these LSAT writers use can be tricky lol.
Outside of those, I'm actually enjoying the RRE questions
@lilakdunn this is so validating. I feel so seen. I fr was like wtf is going on, I was fine till I got here. I just have to believe I will be fine again :(
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.

The way I understood the stim was they the newpaper calls out the false claim but doesn't go into depth why its wrong.
This was a really good explanation
fuck my fucking chungus life
@LindaLopez You may be a big chungus now, but I believe that you can become a big shot if you apply yourself, boss

@NikhitaMinas I fell for B, then realized that this was an except question, like i hate these type of questions so bad.

Except questions will be the death of me on this exam lol
Process of elimination wins out.
i hate this
POE always works chose D !
Sounds like every news channel, not just Fox.
@TylerMadani021 nah
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.
@annoir86 That's my issue too! I misread the 1st time but then on blind review I understand my mistake.
Why do I get BR if I do them in time. This confuses me more lmfao
Bruh I am being cooked
This category of questions is cooking me

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.
loosen up eh
Other way around LOL.. CNN is the most biased news platform by far
Ignore this comment... I misread your post lol
Drake?!
haha my brain said Fox News before he did
