4. Who is Judith Miller? Should the United States have a federal shield law to protect reporters? Judith Miller was a reporter that spent 85 days in jail for refusing to testify about her confidential sources in connection with the leaked identity of CIA Valerie Plame. I think that the shield law is a good thing. As long as the story is true they should have rights to be able to disclose their sources to anyone or whoever they want to. If they did not have that right then people would be in danger if they told them where they heard certain information from.
5. What do you think of the current movie rating system? Should it be changed? Why or Why not?
I believe that the movie rating systems are fine where they are at now. There is not need to change the system. The ratings let the parents and the people know just how bad or what kind of language that the movie has in it. Although the system is good the ratings are getting a little flexible. Some of the Rated R movies today would not be rated R today. There are scenes that i do not think are for the movie theater, but they show it anyway. I do not think they should change the system but maybe they should tweak it a little. Just kind of catch up with the times and make sure that the things that are shown that are supposed to be shown for the certain type of rating.
6. Should the Fairness Doctrine be revived? Why or why not?
The Fairness Doctrine i believe should be revived. It is like the 1st amendment says you have a the right to free speech. You also should have the right to make your viewpoints known to the public and people should be able to argue or debate with the comments that you make on a certain political or non political subject. Although the TV or radio can only broadcast certain things i believe that it is important that they run them such as the Bin Laden issue. I believe they should let people speak their opinions and say what they want to say within reason.
