Answer 2

A) The media can only cover those viewed as legitimate contenders because there are often dozens of candidates in the early stages of the election.

Explanation:

• Members of the media give more scrutiny for candidates whom they consider legitimate/recognised contender and whom they expect to win, and they always provided media coverage this way.
• As much as it is hard to believe, the biggest thing which propel elections is simple “name recognition”.
• Research has revealed that many candidates can be literally left invisible since they cannot win enough interest from the media
