The writer of the above passage

  • A.seems to be happy with the contemporary arrangements for circulating news
  • B.wants better evaluation of news before publication
  • C.is shocked by the casual stories about horrors and disasters reported in the newspapers
  • D.wants to put his foot down on news stories

Answer: B

Correct answer: wants better evaluation of news before publication

The passage's complaint is that evaluation is always weak and often wanting entirely, and it imagines someone putting his foot down to stop the worthless items travelling the wires. The horrors are the symptom the writer uses, not the object of his shock, and it is the newspapers he wants to do the deciding, not himself.
