The Word "Presstitute" Is Insulting (To Sex Workers) by Caitlin Johnstone published on 2023-04-09T03:22:18Z It's one of the most shameful jobs in the entire world to spend your time doing critical reporting on the enemies of your government while ignoring your own government's far more egregious crimes. People talk about sex work as shameful, and in America they'll even shame you for working a low-paying job like McDonald's, when on all our screens every day we see people selling their own government's ugly foreign policy in a line of work that is entire universes more shameful. That's why I dislike the use of the word "presstitute" to refer to these people. Not because it's insulting to the press, but because it's insulting to sex workers. Reading by Tim Foley.

Hilarious! 2023-04-14T01:50:06Z Comment by DogH20 Isn’t government funding a euphemism for corporate funding seeing how the two are interchangeable? 2023-04-14T01:46:28Z Comment by Vyonne Jenks Thank you for your articulation of the truth! 2023-04-09T12:39:55Z Comment by Ron Rodarte There is an ancient Korean story of the honor of trust and the tests of honor among persons holding power. The story of Chunyangjeon can be illuminating to the choices made by 'journalists' (villagers) who flock to the corporate coin of payment for their services to the powerful. Journalism, in truth, the entire corporate monopoly media, has become a salacious servant for moneyed profit. Truth and honor no longer matter, and choices have to be made in the journalist experience to serve the powerful or serve the need of the people. One day, the crimes will be prosecuted and honor will return. One may recognize those who dwell as outcast journalists as heros who triumph and return justice to the village. This is the story of Chunyangjeon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunhyangjeon 2023-04-09T05:07:34Z
