Which statements accurately characterize the effects that the media have on public opinion?

I believe the answer is:

The media can often intensify public opinion

the media can completely shape the public opinion of a new issue

The media can perpetuate a certain narrative over and over again, which would most likely intensify the opinion of their audiences to a certain way of thinking. They can also present a news in different way which make a certain individuals look unfavourable over the others, and shape public opinion toward the issue that presented by those individuals.
