5. What do you think of the current movie rating system? Should it be changed?
-I think that the current movie system should stay the way it is. I believe that it is very appropriate. Kids movies are rated G or PG, older teens is PG-13 and for older people the rating is R. Everyone knows the movie ratings, why would we change them. The ratings help the movie producers, but they also help parents. If parents see that a movie is rater R, then they know there child can not watch. I watched my first rated R movie when I was eight, The Last of the Mohican's, but my parents watched it with me and explained it to me. I think our movie rating system is awesome. Most of the movies I go see in theaters are rated R. It has to be a pretty good movie or something I think is cool for me to see a PG-13 movie. That's because I like cussing and violence in movies haha. But for now the movie industry should not confuse their viewers, and keep the movie ratings the same
4. Who is Judith Miller? Should the US have a federal shield law to protect reporters?
- Judith Miller is a New York Times reporter that was arrested and sentenced to eighty-five days in prison. She sent to jail because she refused to give up her sources that were connected to the CIA's operative Valerie Plame. I absolutely believe that there should be shield laws protecting reporters. It is nobody else's business where reporters get there sources from. if reporters want to release news, they should be responsible for the outcomes. Not the people they get their sources from. Reporters have a dangerous job, and should be protected always. The US is a very nosy country, but reporters should not be forced to give up the identity of their sources. I do not care where they go the info, I just care what the reporters say.
6. Should the Fairness Doctrine be revived? Why or Why not?
- I believe that the Fairness Doctrine should be revealed. I think we should know about controversial issues within our community. If we do not know about them, then we will not know what is going on. I like finding out about things in the community. Like the Zahara story in Hickory. It was all over the news, and I watched Nancy Grace everyday to find out what is going on. I wanted them to catch the parents and burn them. Although it was a horrible story, I was interested in them catching who did it. We need the doctrine to listen to other people point of view on stories. I think it should be revived.
