Here’s a fun little idea I’ve been toying with, representation in the media. However, I’m not going to make the focus nearly so broad. I’m basically going to try to find if the “average joe” has enough of a say in major media broadcasts. By now we’ve figured out that the media holds influence, so is there truly an equal opportunity to gain some of that influential power. Depending on what I find in my research, my thesis will either be:
1. The media neglects granting everyone an equal opportunity to display their beliefs because the media is too focused on the all-important ratings. …or…
2. The media only takes the opinions of so-called “experts” seriously and is so biased towards average citizens that when their stories are presented, they are portrayed as unintelligent and therefore a waste of an interview.

I think the first one is better. Your second thesis statment seems more like a rant than a thesis statement. I'm not sure where you're going to go with the first one though. Yeah, my comment isn't really helpful. Sorry.
I think you'd be able to write the first thesis better because it's somewhat more defined but your tone with the second thesis seems like you'd be more interested in it and could definitely take it somewhere nice.
I think that your first thesis statement states your ideas in a clearer manner than your second one. Also, your second thesis seems a little choppy and wordy. If you could condense your second thesis while maintaining the same meaning, then it would be clearer and more specific than your first one.
