#10  At least there is a kind of honesty about prostitution. It is a transaction and you generally know what you are getting for your money. I think calling reporters prostitutes is denigrating to prostitution. Often you get a pack of lies parading as truth.

#4  1 Don't insult honest prostitutes like that!

Snark ~:) O'Day Barb!

Really reporters who were trained [sic brainwashed as Liberal Journalism Majors] are the lowest of the low, with mighty few exceptions.

Most of the best reporters today were Professionals in other fields who had REAL Productive lives before they began the reporting business.

#3  At least with Prostitutes you know your going to get F-ked.

Reporters are more akin to date-rapist. They lull their victims into a false state of sleep and then f-k them over.

#2  Indeed.

It is an odious and utterly disgusting analogy. The sex workers of Amsterdam should go on strike until the author apologizes.
