Viewpoint – Review of Season 1

Ian Beaumont looks back on the stories that have most influenced Viewpoint over this past season just gone. 

Viewpoint – Pornstars and politicians

Porn star to turn politician?

Hey, stranger things have happened in the past, but this would be a case of poacher turning gamekeeper. CNN's Sean Callebs reports on a campaign to oust Senator David Vitter, the Republican senator from Louisiana.



Hey, if I could vote for her, I would!

Former Porn Star now works in school.

There are plenty of news sources reporting this story out of Vineland, New Jersey; NBC Philadelphia and Fox News amongst them.

Whilst there are those in the area who want her fired, but at least Fox News reports that legal experts have advised them that she cannot be fired because of her porn past for two reasons...

"...one, it's not illegal, and two, it's not on school time."

What I say is this. Who cares if she is STILL in porn, or as she claims, gave it up five years ago.As long as she is not engaged in it during the time she is supposed to be doing her school job, then there is no issue and no case to answer.

Fox Business Anchor or Porn Star??? They Question, You Decide.

TV Newser pointed me to this fun little quiz on Radar Online seeing if you can tell your business briefs from your... well, you know...

My result? 6 out of 10, which is not bad, considering I can't get Fox Business in the UK yet.
