Re: Diane Sawyer’s “Prostitution in America” report on 20/20, aired on 3/21/08
What a sickening disappointment!!!!! All she did was the same-old same-old: she interviewed the most accessible prostitutes in the country, the streetwalkers and brothel workers, so OF COURSE she saw mostly just the downside of the work, the pitiful junkies and women who are pimped or managed. OF COURSE such women aren’t happy, so OF COURSE Sawyer portrayed something seamy, sad, degrading, and ambivalent at best….WHY did she only speak to ONE courtesan???? WHY did she NOT go to www.independentescort.com, and approach the women there, or seek out the sex workers’ union that’s proliferating??? WHY THE SAME-OLD SAME-OLD???
ANYONE can go into the street and talk to the women out there. They’re so demoralized, they’ll talk to anyone…they hardly even care if they get arrested. And the Nevada brothel girls are easy to talk to because where they are it’s legal.
You call that INVESTIGATIVE REPORTING, Diane??? You call that DIGGING for the WHOLE TRUTH???
Shame on you.
