I love it when people start comparing a chicken to a cow because they both live on a farm.

Comparing journalism to porn is even more far fetched. The porn consumer in general can get off to anything and the cost of producing porn is very low. Plus it does not have to be up to date, it could of been produced 2 years ago and still bringing in money and paying the producer.

Journalism has to be to the point, produced every day and costs far more money than a porn movie. No one wants last weeks news. Without the revenue to pay for journalists to go out and find the news every day that's what you might end up with. You can't copy yesterdays news.
