The author concludes that the caliber of news reporting does not necessarily go down as the entertainment value of it goes up. This is based on the fact that the greatest journalists have been the most entertaining.

We know that the greatest journalists have been the most entertaining. But this doesn’t tell us anything about the relationship between entertainment value and the caliber of their work. What if the more entertaining pieces they wrote were of lower caliber than the less entertaining pieces? We want to establish that for the greatest journalists, their work did not decrease in caliber as it got more entertaining.

(A) establishes the greatest journalists’ news reporting has been of the maximum caliber. This proves that it’s impossible for their work to have decreased in caliber as it got more entertaining. If their work is all of the highest caliber, then more entertainment value isn’t associated with lower caliber.

(B) doesn’t establish anything about the caliber of reporting of the greatest journalists. So it leaves open the possibility that their work decreased in caliber as it got more entertaining.

(C) doesn’t establish anything about the caliber of reporting of the greatest journalists. So it leaves open the possibility that their work decreased in caliber as it got more entertaining.

(D) doesn’t establish anything about the caliber of reporting of the greatest journalists. So it leaves open the possibility that their work decreased in caliber as it got more entertaining. The fact that something can be both entertainment and news does not establish that there’s no inverse relationship between entertainment value and quality.

(E) doesn’t establish anything about the caliber of reporting of the greatest journalists. So it leaves open the possibility that their work decreased in caliber as it got more entertaining.
