In the first video we watched, The Young Turks, the hosts mostly focused on the bullying aspect of the story. One of the hosts thought it was ridiculous that the student thought she wouldn't be "outed" since her porn is a public thing. The other host said that there are always "trolls" no matter what you are doing in your life. They also discuss that people are sharing the whereabouts of her location, and she is receiving threats. Overall, they believe that the problem is the occurrence of slut shaming and bullying.
In the CNN video, the host brings on a clinical psychologist, who says that porn is "not that bad". Like the first video, the CNN show did not think the root of the problem was in the porn. This video emphasizes the importance of the porn star owning her sexuality, and that when a woman does own her sexuality, it makes other people uncomfortable. The psychologist says that she tries to get couples to have more sex. In relation, the porn star feels empowered when she has sex, but she is afraid of being slut shamed.
All of the topics that you brought up in The Young Turks were important. Another thing that they talked about that was also important was how the people who were criticizing this student were males who probably watched porn; which then that made them hypocrites.
