Explanation:

Question 18

To solve this, we analyze the quote: "news gatherers are either cynics at heart or are following the orders and the policies of the owners of their papers". Option A is incorrect as the quote doesn't mention too many facts. Option C is wrong as local news isn't discussed. Option D is incorrect as technological innovation isn't part of the quote. Option B matches the idea that newspapers are influenced by owners (ownership) and the cynicism or following orders shows bias.

Roosevelt's concern is about newspapers not being neutral (due to bias from owners or cynicism). Impartiality means being neutral. Injunction is a court order, veracity is truthfulness (the quote is about bias not truthfulness), and democracy isn't directly related. So impartiality connects to his concern about lack of neutrality.

Answer:

B. They are influenced by ownership and bias
