I dont think the amount of teen smokers will change because of this law. It's very easy for teenagers to get tobacco products, and once you turn 18 you are fully an adult so I think 18 year olds should be able to make this choice for themselves. Maybe a better option would be to make more cigarettes with lowered amounts of nicotine?
I don't think this is a murder, there's way more reasonable explanations and its in broad daylight. If the redditors are very interested they should do some research about missing people at the area and time the picture was taken.
I think the author put way too much meaning into this. Most high schoolers are boys and girls, as most have not turned 18 yet. It's not "demeaning" to call a 13 or 14 year old freshman a boy instead of calling him a full grown man, its just fact.
I think the article should have focused more on why the daughter was kidnapped and how her life was with her mom, she wasn't harmed at all and was taken good care of when she was with her mom. Maybe the father was abusive, which caused the mom and daughter to flee?
I think this article was very intriguing as both sides had several valid points. In the article, Keller and Greenwald had highly opposing thoughts on the impartialism of journalism, and whether or not news should be biased. I agree with many ideas from both Kelller and Greenwald, and think they could both have some accuracy. Keller thinks that all news should be completely unbiased, which I don't agree with, as I think that some bias can sometimes provide a different point of view and keep the reader interested. However, Keller states that facts should always be used and always be correct, which I do agree with, I don't think facts should ever be manipulated to fit the reporters bias. Greenwald thinks that all news contains bias, and that bias is necessary for entertainment. While I somewhat agree with this, I think there are times when bias should be avoided. In general, as long as the facts are correct and not bended and the sources stay equal and fair, I think its okay for a small amount of the reporters bias to show, as a form of entertainment and as a way to keep readers/watchers interested.
