Can true objectivity, then, exist? Time Magazine founder, Henry Luce, said, “Show me a man who thinks he’s objective and I’ll show you a man who’s deceiving himself.” He may have a point, given that journalists are people who come from diverse backgrounds, and life experiences. However, striving to remain objective is the only way for the media to remain independent. Otherwise, news would merely be propaganda.

Back in his office, at the Atlanta Progressive News, Matthew Cardinale has revamped the website to reflect APN’s new progressive editorial policy.

In fact, there is nothing that “is,” separate from the observer or multiple observers who construct and interpret what that reality is.

Trump is an alpha. But he is only one alpha. Thus inaccessible to the 99% of women. Hillary is going to import more alphas from Muslim countries. These imported alphas will be accessible to the 99% of women who desire alpha sperm. Thus you may think Trump will get the “women who want alpha men vote” but you are wrong.

Those votes will go to Hillary as Hillary will actually deliver the alphas to the women who want them.
