If media gives coverage only to one party and ignores others what problem will arise?

Correct answer: Voters will receive unbalanced information

Correct answer: A. Voters need reliable and reasonably balanced information about the candidates, parties, issues, and proposed policies so that they can make an informed choice. If media repeatedly gives attention to only one party and ignores others, voters may hear one side more often and may not learn about alternatives. This creates an information imbalance and can weaken fair electoral competition, even though the ballot itself may remain secret. Option A is correct because it identifies the direct democratic problem. Option B is wrong because media coverage does not determine whether ballots are secret. Option C is wrong because reporting bias does not correct voter registration records. Option D is wrong because the ease of vote counting depends on election procedures, not on equal media coverage. The concern is not that media must make every story identical, but that systematic one-sided coverage can limit informed choice. Memory cue: biased information can produce an unbalanced choice.
