Answer:

B. The media are for-profit businesses, unable to be fair or objective in the interest of the public.

Explanation:

The media's objective is to sway the public into believing what they say, and to essentially (though the term may be harsh) brainwash the viewer to see the situation as the media see's it, instead of allowing them to have their own objective view. Of course, it does not work 100% like this, but the way the media portrays events can definitely affect the view of a person.

For example, in recent events, President Trump proposed a tax deduction to help small businesses and the ordinary person to survive through the wake of the Corona-virus and the stay-at-home order. However, while it may seem like a good thing, the media sways the public's opinion to believe that the tax cuts were only beneficial to the wealthy. This sways people's beliefs of whether the tax cut was beneficial as a whole or not, but Trump did a tax cut, which is all that matters.

Another example can be found in a not-as-recent event, where President Obama signed tax cuts into law. Most media coverage of it was neutral at most, even positive sometimes. This shows that there is bias inside the media, and those who read, listen to, or watch certain media would be accustom to their way of thinking as well.

Remember, all media is there to make a profit, and to do so, they must 1) have large amounts of viewers, and 2) be able to influence others into seeing events the way they see it. There is no objective views in the media, for everybody has their own opinions, and own set of beliefs.

What is one of the liberties gauranteed in the bill of rights

Answers

I must say, the IV is my favorite amendment: "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized"

I mean, while you're at your property, doing your stuff without harming anyone or anything (in theory, if they don't know you're doing it, they'll have to figure it out) the State protects your right to not be disturbed in your privacies, excluding of course, if caught by an authority doing some offence.

What is meant by the Eighth Amendment’s guarantee that punishments should not be “cruel and unusual”?

Answers

Because King George III punished colonists who committed crimes with "hanging" and "tar and feathering," once colonists had come to America, they wanted to change the punishment system. So when they came up with new laws, no cruel and unusual punishments was agreed on. That means that if you commit a crime and are found guilty, they cannot hang you, electrify you, beat you with whips and harsh weapons or tools, etc., as a form of punishment.
