CNN is doomed, however it isn't because most Americans wake up from the reality and stop watching CNN news. Instead they favor Faux News now, therefore the average IQ in American public is getting dumber and dumber.

It seems that CNN was doing really badly in 2009.

CNN Drops to Last Place Among Cable News Networks - NYTimes.com

In the news link you posted, it says CNN is losing marketshare because it is the MOST OBJECTIVE and LEAST PARTISAN cable news network of the dominant American news networks. Very interesting because my perception is that CNN portrays itself as the unbiased counterpart of mainstream American media but simply packages news presentation in a less obnoxious way than say FOX News which portrays news in blatantly right-wing conservative fashion.

News packaged as entertainment is just about the worse idea ever for a society.

So does prostitution.

Prostitution should be legalized. Otherwise it's a cheap way for police to inflate their accomplishments. Arresting prostitutes and clients takes no risk and makes the arrest statistics look really good, so many "criminals" arrested! But do the police dare take on the mafia, murderers, robbers, drug dealers, car thieves?

Yeah you're right prostitution is much more harmless than US packaged news channels.

I oppose prostitution.
That is the ugly side of human. Although we cannot completely eliminate it, at least, we can not make it legal.

Why not? if we crack down on it, it will still exist but will be controlled by criminals.

Why not? Prostitution is a fact in China. We have it, it is widespread, it has become a part of our culture. Legalizing it prevents criminals from profiting and reduces violence against women.

I believe that one day we can completely eliminate prostitution.
So we can not make it legal.

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

Prostitution needs to be taken off the streets, and out of the hands of criminals.

The best solution, is to legalize and regulate it.

It is never going to go away, no country has successfully eliminated prostitution. Might as well control it, and confine it.

Impossible. Not making it legal means prostitutes who are victims of criminals cannot even report them. This increases the real crime rate not the fake one the police use to boost their arrest statistics and leads to more violence.

What do you have against hookers? They're not hurting anyone. Well they can hurt you but I suppose you'll have to pay extra for the kinky stuff.

Should be given a job to prostitute. No prostitution!
Our factories need a lot of workers, we have enough job.

Girls that want to be prostitutes don't want to work but they're still vulnerable to violence. A prostitute in Wuhan can have 5-10 guests per day, 200 a time, only working nights. Assume 1 month 4 weeks, they work same as office workers, 5-6 days a week, no tips for singing or alcohol sales. At minimum they're making 20000 RMB per month. A worker in Wuhan Foxxcon makes 2000-3000 RMB per month working 6 days per week, 12+ hours per day. If they're already shameless enough to be prostitutes they're not going to get a job even if avaliable.
