The increase in the number of newspaper articles exposed as fabrications serves to bolster the contention that publishers are more interested in boosting circulation than in printing the truth. Even minor publications have staffs to check such obvious fraud.
The argument above assumes that
a. newspaper stories exposed as fabrications are a recent phenomena
b. everything a newspaper prints must be factually verifiable
c. fact checking is more comprehensive for minor publications than for major ones
d. only recently have newspapers admitted to publishing intentionally fraudulent stories
e. the publishers of newspapers are the people who decide what to print in their newspapers
my ans was b though e is also tempting. if b is not true then nothing can be varified and argument falls apart. same with e , any comments.

Guys, first of all, Argument does not seem to depend on B as an assumption. Had it been worded as following "everything a newspaper prints CAN be factually verifiable", I might agree with you for the absence of a better answer.
But if they say MUST instead of CAN, I doubt that it is an assumption at all.
But look at E and and try to negate it saying that Publishers are not the people who decide what to print. If this is the case then we can not blame them for publishing false facts, intending to boost circulation. If some people other than publishers decide to print fabrications, than publishers can not be blamed for it. Of course, they still might be interested in it..
