Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B, Effective government cannot be run by politicians that base their public opinions on poll results, is the right answer.

Explanation:

In the 20th century, Walter Lippmann was the most influential reporter and political commentator in the United States. He coined the term stereotype and introduced the theory of the Cold War. In his book, "Public Opinion" he has implied that the public issues can no longer be judged rationally by the ordinary people. The very reason for this is that the media produces slogans instead of interpretations. Moreover, he suggested that those leaders cannot run an effective government who found their public opinions on poll outcomes.
