Even the fairest and most impartial newspaper is a medium of propaganda.
    Every daily newspaper has an editorial page. The opinion is expressed on events and personalities in the news. But editorial judgment is so persuasively presented that many people accept these opinions as facts.
    Good journalists uphold a code of ethics that distinguishes between news and editorial opinion. This code holds that in an editorial column the publisher is entitled to advocate any cause he chooses. It is understood that there he is speaking as a partisan and may express any view he desires.
    Because a modem newspaper is so expensive to produce and so costly to establish, newspapers have increasingly become big business organizations.  Although there are exceptions, these large newspapers tend to reflect the views of their owners in their editorials on economic and political matters. In the news columns, however, the complete and unbiased facts should be reported.
    The better metropolitan newspapers and the great press associations usually can be relied on to keep their news impartial. But the less ethical publications often deliberately "color" the news to favor or oppose certain groups or movements.

选项 A、the paper is a member of a large press association
B、the paper’s ethical standards are suspected
C、the paper is in financial trouble
D、the paper upholds a journalistic code of ethics

答案 B

解析 推理判断题。根据原文可知比较好的都市大报和大型报业的新闻报道通常是公正可信的,But the less ethical publications often deliberately“color” the news to favor or oppose certain groups or movements但不太遵守道德规范的报业常会故意使新闻带有偏见,支持或反对某些团体或运动。由此可推测如果某一报纸新闻总是一边倒,其读者会猜测其道德标准令人怀疑。因此选项B的内容与原文相符,该项是正确的。
