Equal coverage of sex trafficking as given for sex scandals

In the mainstream news media, salacious sex scandals take a backseat to sex trafficking, which is the kidnapping of girls and women and selling them as sex slaves. More than 500,000 American girls and women have failed victim to this under-reported criminal cartel.

It is debatable if airing a celebrity or politician’s dirty little secret is about the public’s right to know. However, it is not debate that the public has a right to know on a regularly basis what, if anything, the FBI, Justice Department, and local police are doing to stop this crime, return these girls to their families, and bring the criminals to justice. The news media can assist their efforts by keeping the story in the headlines. We do not mean a special report now and then, but the same level of coverage that is devoted to a male politician’s sex scandal. An informed public is an asset to any criminal investigation.

We demand that ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, USA Today, Washington Post and other news media organizations give equal coverage to sex trafficking, as is given to sex scandals. We, the public, have the right to know the full story about what is happening to girls and women not only in America but also around the world.

Why is this important?

Many substantive hard news stories affecting a large segment of our population are taking a backseat to sensational stories about the sexual habits of celebrities and politicians. These stories are more fitting for tabloid reporters than mainstream journalists. We are calling on the mainstream news media to give equal coverage and time to the issue of sex trafficking, which is the kidnapping of girls and women and selling them as sex slaves, as is given to sex scandals.
