You Are Now More Likely To Know A Prostitute Than A Primetime CNN Viewer
Townhall ^ | May 4, 2019 | Timothy Meads

Donna Summer sings, "No one seems to know her name, and even less about the place from where she came," in her 1976 song Lady of the Night. Flash forward 40 years and it seems those lyrics are more applicable to the nightly CNN audience than they are to a prostitute. As reported by Newsbusters, the latest cable news ratings indicate that CNN primetime has just 760,000 viewers, officially making members of the oldest profession more prominent in America than fans of the cable news network.

Newsbusters Rich Noyes reports there are an estimated 1 million prostitutes currently in the United States, meaning there are 240,000 more people out there whose profession is known as the politically correct "sex worker" than are folks tuning into CNN each evening for their news.

Furthermore because of their dissipating fan base, "Across all cable networks, CNN now ranks 15th, behind Home and Garden TV (4th), the Hallmark Channel (9th) and the Food Network (14th)." The network has lost 26% of its total audience since April 2018. Newsbusters' Tim Graham laid the numbers out compared to other networks.

Those are high-end call guys and girls — for ugly people.

That’s 760,000 concurrent viewers, not 760,000 total.

Reading the replies here and I agree. I would trust the prostitute over them. Especially a politician.

I’d rather get fake orgasms than fake news.

Heck, at least your average prostitute doesn't want to destroy capitalism, bring down Israel, eliminate individual liberty, and dissolve the Constitution, all with a high pay check and outrageous benefits. Come to think of it it wouldn't be a bad idea if the members of the oldest profession took over for for the elected members of the second-oldest profession! At least the former WORK for a living and know how to please their clients!

It shocks and saddens me if that many people are involved in prostitution.


Depends on how you define “prostitute”, if you think about it, all women are technically “prostitutes”.

You don’t see women marrying up all the hobos now do you?

What’s the old saying ‘All men pay for sex, one way or another, whether it is a few hundred bucks or half of everything he owns.....’

I don’t know any prostitutes. I’ve also never seen an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants but re-runs of it are beating CNN primetime in the ratings.

There is no value in CNN news content.
The branch bank I use has a painting of a whorehouse listed in the National Register on the wall—gift wrapped at Christmas time.
One could only gift wrap CNN—no value—to give away.

The article didn't specify a prostitute who was active, nor did it specify a full time prostitute.

The greater number of prostitutes (as far as total quantity of people providing sex for material gain) only work to fill a specific need, not all the time. They usually quit fairly young.

The general public immediately thinks of full time prostitutes in brothels, on the street, or working for escort agencies because those are the ones who get arrested or whom authors and journalists can find.

If you look at the total numbers then yeah the article is likely accurate - but who cares about CNN anyway?

I still don’t buy the numbers. Folks involved in almost any cause come up with overstated figures.

“Anyone know the name of a reliable prostitute?

They are mythological creatures created by male fantasy.

I don't even know the names of any unreliable prostitutes.

Unfortunately, I do know some CNN viewers.

Funny how a new organization is being referred to as a whore, but it’s considered lower than one.

And your money isn’t as wasted.

Although it’s a sin and I look down on it.

A CNN viewer probably pays a prostitute just to watch CNN with him.
