Abstract
On April 4, 2010, CNN’s Larry King Live aired a special segment, titled “Worldwide Crisis: Human Trafficking,” to highlight the crime’s brutal and global nature. Joined by Ashley Judd and Lucy Liu, host Larry King described human trafficking as “women and children, kidnapped, bought, [and] sold into bondage.” Throughout the program, the commentators made at least twenty-five references to “women” or “girls” to describe, in graphic detail, occasions on which men enslaved and sexually abused females. It portrayed the crime as a contemporary tale of good versus evil about misogyny and the sexual exploitation of women.
