In Bed with Susie Bright 266

The Child Porn Journalism Scandal

Susie takes a fascinating and thorough look this week at the reporting by The New York Times's Kurt Eichenwald. You may remember from "The CamWhore Chronicles" (Episode #233), Susie has found much of Eichenwald's reporting about child pornography to be both insincere and tabloidish. Two recent stories ("With Child Sex Sites on the Run, Nearly Nude Photos Hit the Web," NYT 8/20/06 and "From Their Own Online World, Pedophiles Extend Their Reach," NYT 8/16/06) have raised even more questions for Susie and others about how Eichenwald is accessing child pornography Web sites, and, beyond that, what his reporting means in the real world where children are being abused and exploited. Then, on a much lighter note, in the Try This at Home mailbag, Susie reads a letter from a woman who says smoking pot drives her crazy in bed. (Episode 266, October 13, 2006)
