Explanation
Answer - B - The statement about media in the United States that is most historically correct is that party bias is often a media goal.

Key Takeaway: Throughout United States history, party bias was often the goal of the media. Media has always been driven by business in the United States and was particularly party-driven during the Colonial era. Fairness, free speech, access to all, and national information are civic goals, but these have not really been the goals of the media or its owners.
