­Option E is not the answer because if you look at the argument, the argument as a whole does not seek to establish what is indicated by reporter's defence for Clemens.
It is more of an assumption held by the author that this incident is how reporters must be defending every public figure in general as honest. (It is not what the author wants to conclude, it is an assumption supporing the conclusion.)

While C states that the local news media pays too much deference (respect) to the public figures. The author is driving the passage towards blamig the local news media to be responsible for defending the politician too much and not being neutral at all.

I'm not an expert but in the case of this passage you are essentially looking for the conclusion as stated in the paragraph which in this case is "This demonstrates how the local media show too much deference toward public figures". From the standpoint of the GMAT, this could be construed as something factual found within the passage which in most cases does not warrant a correct answer. Tricky one.

You're looking for an answer choice that accurately expresses the overall conclusion drawn in the argument. If you have an answer choice that matches -- or nearly matches -- the conclusion written in the passage, that's great!

The conclusion is part of the argument, so we are absolutely looking for an answer choice that matches (or perhaps paraphrases) something in the argument.

All of these type of questions ask you to find the statement in the passage that is the conclusion of the passage and not the conclusion you derive from what you have read.
