This article is about the prostitution charges with Gov. Eliot Spitzer and his apology. The writers start off with a great introduction, most of the sentences are interesting questions. It leaves you wondering and makes you want to read on to see if they answer them. The article is written on a subject we don't really hear a lot about. Most people probably think prostitution isn't very popular anymore, but according to the article, that isn't the case. Though written very well, reserched fairly well, the article seems to be very biased. The article seems to take the easy way out with its explination, the writers simply state that these women are prostitutes because of their childhood. I've heard that line so many times for so many different issues, that to me, it has become a seemingly lame and overused excuse. Overall, the article was at least interesting. It even interviewed some women who participated in these acts and the "companies" that provided them.

I also read this article and I agree that it was bias. It made me ponder the idea of a "vitcimless crime" but I didn't get the idea that the author researched or had any sources. I think she was just throwing out personal experience or her own thoughts as generalizations and facts of why prostitutes are the way they are. It was a bit bias for me.
I think that this article was a little bias which made it unpleasent to read and catch on to the informaton. I feel unsure to wether or not I should trust what the author was saying, and I was doubting his credibility. The author instead played upher own experiences rather than researching the issue.
The bias does make the author seem uncredible. I thinkt this would have been interesting to read about because it is not something you read about every day. It seems like the author could have done better research on this issue to make it more believable.
