a. Don't confuse me with the source texts
When I copy and use source texts from magazines like the two on Schwarzenegger; it DOESN'T mean I agree with what the articles suggest. I just use the pictures painted by the authors as a case study. Even when its completely wrong and fictional what they write the cases still have value as discussion vehicles on archetypes.

b. Looking for the holy grail of 'truth'
It's too easy a criticism to say that texts are subjective.When reading stories on celebrities there is no way to 'have the truth'; it will allways be biased opinions spiced up with facts. The only thing you can do is extract the facts, which is of course is a subjective process too. When you wanna get the 'objective holistic truth'; study mathematics or write a Ph.D. dissertion. But don't have the expectation of finding the truth on any Internet message forum. That's not to say that we can't get closer to the truth by a dialectical process on this board. When this happens it's 'minimal subjectivity', not reaching objectivity.
