B The news source's coverage would have bias whether intentional or not.
While a personal reading of the speech's transcript allows for a direct and unfiltered understanding of the content, a news source's coverage can be influenced by the bias of the journalists, editors, or the organization itself. This bias may manifest in the selection of quotes, the interpretation of the speech, or the omission of certain details. Therefore, the news source's coverage may provide a less accurate representation of the speech compared to a personal reading of the transcript.
Option C is not directly related to the accuracy of the information but rather suggests a potential influence on the news source's coverage that may impact its objectivity. Option A is not always the case, as news sources can provide a balanced coverage of a presidential speech by representing both positive and negative aspects. Option D is not accurate because the level of accuracy can vary between the coverage and the original transcript.
How might a news source's coverage of a presidential speech provide less accurate information than a personal reading of the speech's transcript?
A The news source's coverage would focus on the negative rather than the whole speech.
B The news source's coverage would have bias whether intentional or not.
C The news source's coverage would be slanted toward their advertisers.
D Both the coverage and the transcript would be equally accurate.
