I saw part of this expose of the porn industry last night. The biggest surprise was that Diane Sawyer exposed the truth that:
Fortune 100 Corporations own the porn industry !
I will not attempt to name them again here because I was not taking notes. However, major hotel chains, major media giants, and a very BIG publishing and Internet conglomerate were mentioned.
I hope mainstream America was watching last night. Diane Sawyer questioned a young woman about her repeated humiliating mistakes. Cameras followed her on a trip to Eastern Europe where she made another porn film.
Motive for making porn is its huge profitability. Billions and Billions of dollars.
Diane Sawyer did not mention that most of the local porn stores are money laundering fronts for major drug enterprises. Billions and Billions of dollars in cash is being washed every month. The obvious links between major U.S. corporations and illegal drug enterprise (organized crime) was not even mentioned.

Wow! And yet, somehow not surprising.
I feel bad for this girl.

Newscorp, which includes Fox News, unfortunately, was mentioned, along with Time/Warner and major hotel chains.

This is NOT what they said.
I'm sure it's what ABC wanted you to think (it apparently worked on you), but it's NOT what they said. The Fortune 100 companies were included because they make money off porn. For example, DirecTV offers porn channels so they make money off porn. Hilton offers adult movies in thier hotel rooms so they make money off porn.
What they failed to point out is that by doing an expose' on the porn industry and airing it during sweeps, ABC too is making money off porn.
