Ever since a major government scam was exposed to the public by the media three months ago, government irregularities, however small, have kept surfacing at regular intervals. The government officials assert that the attention given by the media to govemment affairs has gone up and hence, the media is reporting irregularities that have legitimate explanations and would have gone unnoticed otherwise. Thus, it is the media's over-attention to government affairs that is resulting in high irregularity reports, and there are certainly no inexplicable irregularities, the officials maintain.
Which one of the following, if true, would seriously weaken the assertions of the government officials?
a) The media has been scrutinizing the government not only for irregularities and scams but also for its administrative performance.
b) The media is not qualified enough to comment on many of the irregularities because the media lacks comprehensive knowledge of the government records.
c) The government officials have been nonetheless critical of the media attacks on all irregularities pointed out, including the recent government scam.
d) The media often tries to project small issues in a big way in order to obtain high viewership.
e) The latest media report indicates that the number of irregularities has actually gone down over the past three months.
