Another bashing of CNN follows.
CNN has a news story on young Chinese prostitutes, mainly women, who are duped by their pimps into believing that an injection can prevent HIV, and thus make sure to inject their dosage prior to ever sex act. What they don't know (and what a fair amount of American youth probably don't know) is that such an injection is a bigger crock of shit than the 2009 Iranian election.
What CNN fails to report, albeit it would have been an excellent opportunity, is that an overwhelming amount of young people in America, who have been systematically denied very available information about their own bodies, believe that condoms don't work, or that you cannot contract and STI (sexually transmitted disease) your first time. what about here in the US? Let's not even mention the lies told about abortion. Shall we revisit the teen pregnancy map?
It's a sad state of affairs when young people are still fighting for comprehensive sex education, like in Utah, where students are fed up with ineffective abstinence-only, i.e. Bible-only education. Utah's in orange.
