Anyhoo--I actually sat through the whole special, and I think your summary was pretty spot on. There was definitely a bit of sensationalism and scandalized outcries... but there were also, uh, fair and balanced discussions with sex work advocates and a segment on decriminalization. I was pretty impressed. Whoa, someone else named Lux (srsly, I saw that comment and was like, “I don’t remember posting that…”)
