'John schools' try to change attitudes about paid sex

[D Ghost]

This is an article about prostitution and "johns" who get caught buying... they are being sent to these educational sessions to teach them why prostitution is bad, etc... in the article is this quote:

Experts add that easy accessibility to prostitutes and pornography on the Internet are feeding the problem.

Pornography on the internet is feeding the problem experts say? Really, where's the evidence to back this up?

I love how they throw in these lines about expert opinions, but then of course never have a reason as to why it might be true...

"Experts" as in prostitution experts? What is it exactly that makes them experts of prostitution?

But yea seriously, "experts say" is used way too f'in much in stories and IMO it's a journalist's way of putting their own opinion in a story and passing it off as some sort of consensus opinion.

yeah, there's always some religious freak trying to convince others that porn is so bad...
