Prostitutes and Journalists: Is There a Difference?

Okay, I admit that the title is a cheap shot.  But the media is so far out of control that I just can't resist it.

Notice how the media is WALLOWING in the Spitzer story in the most sesationalistic way possible. The main stories today are about the PROSTITUTE incolved with Spitzer--many of them virtually making her a heroine.

Have sex with a governor, as part of a prostitution ring, and become famous!!!  Our media, and our society are just so healthy--NOT. 

P.S.  Yes, an examination of the true facts of prostitution, outside of this kind of sensational story, is a legitimate, useful thing for journalists to do.  In this case, the purient details of the Spitzer story are being done in the name of sensation  I don't think that is healthy.
