I'm not at all surprised that they would focus on the homeless viewing porn since the NY Post (and its parent corporation NewsCorp) promotes the concept that economic outcomes are also moral outcomes in free market economics.

It should say "They believe everyone will watch porn" they shouldnt single out the homeless.
Surprised they went with the homeless. "Think of the children" usually makes for a better emotional trigger.
