Find the thesis statement in the following two paragraphs:
"Since the beginning of rock and roll in the 1950s, Americans have protested the distribution, promotion, and broadcast of popular music. People have suggested that government agencies, record companies, and radio stations edit or ban objectionable music. They believe that these measures would maintain core American values in our society and prevent the influence of popular music on young people. Some have acted on these suggestions and presented their complaints about popular music to the government, who has consequently forced radio stations to edit songs and pressured the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) to place Parental Advisory labels on controversial releases. These forms of censorship, however, violate First Amendment rights and promote the same types of music that some find objectionable."
"As reporters of information to the general public, journalists must accurately represent the people and events of which they write. To achieve this objective in their writing, journalists learn techniques and rules regarding style, grammar, and objectivity that their editors expect them to follow. Unfortunately, not all journalists adhere to these standards, and some publications do not correct their errors. Containing stylistic problems, grammatical deficiencies, and subjective opinions, a 2001 Rolling Stone article entitled "Britney's Just Like A Woman But She Breaks Just Like A Little Girl" exemplifies these journalistic issues, and it shows how they can degrade the integrity and authority of a publication."
