Hi @Krisly.Zamor

The stimulus says that politicians can be excused for personal attacks, since everyone knows they are only trying to get elected and therefore the attacks will not last past election day. However, the stimulus argues, political commentators cannot be excused for making personal attacks. They are not personally trying to get elected, but are there to discuss ideas and policies.

The conclusion is that the personal attacks of the political commentators should not be permitted - answer choice (B). The politicians are a contrast to the political commentators, and the role of political commentators as facilitating discussion is support for the conclusion.
