According to the Today show and the Boston Globe and the American Family Association and most of what pops up when you google "kids and porn," DAD, you're three years late to this pants-shitting party. "The average age a child first views internet pornography is 11," Matt Lauer warned parents on Today seven years ago. "And those kids don't look away."
Somewhere along the line, Third Way, "a Washington think tank that helps Democrats grab on to red-state issues," was seriously pimping the bogus stat to credulous conservative Dems.Here is a copy of that July 25 report which is titled "The Porn Standard: Children and Pornography on the Internet."
Here is a July 26, 2005 press release about that report.
Here is a Third Way message memo titled "Taking on the Internet Porn Industry."
Based on the latest publicly available information Third Way has total revenue of $7,530,500. It has total assets of $14,649,843.
Third Way President and Co-founder Jonathan Cowen received a salary of $210,857.
Third Way is considered a Democratic-leaning think tank. A look at their Honorary Co-Chairs (and Honorary Co-Chairs Emeriti) shows that all 18 Members of Congress and former Members listed are Democrats.
