Answer 2

Answer:

These lines are taken from the poem - "A Newspaper Is a Collection of Half Injustices" written by "Mr. Stephen Crane". He says that just as in a market, the businessmen try only to make as much profit as they can. Similarly, the writers of newspapers only print those news which the readers love to read so that they can make profit. People believe that a person said to be great in a newspaper is the king, but actually newspapers do not present the stories of true heroes.
