Founded in 2005, ET is billed as a counterweight to the bias of Western media outlets. In reality, the broadcast outlet is an unofficial house organ for President Doestky's government. Under the guise of journalistic inquiry, it produces agitprop funded by the Prenian state, and beams it around the world to nearly 650 million people in more than 100 countries. ET is Prenia's "propaganda bullhorn, deployed to promote President Doestky's fantasy about what is playing out on the ground."
If the view above is correct, it provides a reason for accepting which one of the following conclusions?
(A) It is hard to uphold the principles of journalistic integrity in a place where every reporting assignment comes with a "brief" outlining the story's conclusion.
(B) All mass media firms have a pervasive bias in their interpretation and presentation of the news.
(C) Any bias in the ET is hard to discern as it is presented in the form of journalistic query and would have a level of authenticity to it.
(D) ET is neither the first nor the only outlet that exists to serve the state rather than its citizens.
(E) ET is expected to be the mouthpiece for the ruling political class and has to conform its reporting to the political agenda of Prenia.

If the view above is correct, it provides a reason for accepting which one of the following conclusions?
Premise 1 -> ET is media outlet that spreads the propaganda of President Doestky.
Premise 2 -> ET is funded by Prenian state and help spread its propaganda.
(A) It is hard to uphold the principles of journalistic integrity in a place where every reporting assignment comes with a "brief" outlining the story's conclusion.
It is not linked to the validity of ET.
(B) All mass media firms have a pervasive bias in their interpretation and presentation of the news.
It is not linked to the validity of ET. Also, we cannot generalize it for all.
(C) Any bias in the ET is hard to discern as it is presented in the form of journalistic query and would have a level of authenticity to it.
It is in fact stating that any conclusion by ET stays valid. This is the point the premises are trying to invalidate.
(D) ET is neither the first nor the only outlet that exists to serve the state rather than its citizens.
We don't know about other media outlets.
(E) ET is expected to be the mouthpiece for the ruling political class and has to conform its reporting to the political agenda of Prenia.
Very clearly links with the premises.

Only E supports the premise, mentioned in the argument & can be a conclusion.
All the other options are irrelevant as there is not much information from the argument to infer them.
Hence E is the answer.
