Honestly, I had some doubts as to whether or not Mr. Gerber had a case until I saw that phrase. Yes, it should be easy to prove, but to use the term "subjective" in the same sentence as "requirements" is typical obfuscation by those who are hiding something. At first read, the sentence makes it appear they have a rigid standard, until you realize the standard has "requirements."
Of course, after 8 years of Bill, it makes one more than a little suspicious of any type of media outlet, and it becomes second nature to parse such sentences.
Sorry, as confusion reigns over my reply...replace "subjective" with "standards."
Perhaps an afternoon nap is in order.
