Because most american media is privately owned, which of the following statement is true?
a. it can ignore the bottom line.
b. it is rather subjective.
c. it cannot rely on government funding.
d. it depends on donations from the public

The correct answer is: Privately owned media cannot rely on government funding (answer c). This is the main difference from public media, which is in part funded by the government.

The other options are false: They don't deny on donations (but rather on commercials) and they don't have to be subjective (they might, but this is also true for government media).
