I was on a gmat club test that asked you to select the correct idiom.

I could say, answer could be 2nd/3rd option, Note that there is no such comparison made, it's just amplifying / modifying 'internet'
2. Making 'Internet' to be a direct media, looks good.
3. Making 'Internet' to be more specific as 'direct media'
