Of the following, which one, if true, is the logically strongest counter Randy can make to Marion's objection?
The owner of Azco supported the mayor simply because he liked her political agenda, and not for any expected reward.
The mayor also used her influence to get time on a community channel for another news service, whose owner supported the mayor's opponent in the last election.
Azco's news coverage of the mayor has never been judged to be biased by an impartial, independent organization.
The many people whose jobs depend on Azco's continued presence on a community channel are a potential source of political support for the mayor.
The number of people who watch Mega Cable Television Company's programming has decreased during the mayor's term.
