If media continuously shows news favouring one party, what effect may it have on free elections?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Voters do not get balanced information

The correct answer is A: one-sided coverage may deprive voters of balanced information needed for an independent judgment. Voters do not need identical praise for every party, but fair democratic choice requires a reasonable opportunity to hear different views, claims, records, and criticisms. If media repeatedly favours one party and ignores or misrepresents others, citizens may form opinions from an incomplete picture. This can influence the campaign environment and make competition less fair, especially when many voters depend on media for political information. A is correct because it identifies the direct democratic concern. B is wrong because biased news does not create polling stations. C is wrong because media bias does not automatically stop the counting process. D is wrong because candidate eligibility is determined by election law and nomination rules, not by news coverage alone. Memory cue: informed choice needs more than one-sided information.
