-public aware of biases in media
-reason for this awareness is from media

If the only knowledge that the public has about bias in the media comes from the media, then that information itself could be biased!

A) This is right. When the above statements are true then this makes sense as a conclusion - we can't trust the info the public is receiving and therefore it would be hard for them to actually discern a bias.

Let us know if you have any further questions!
