Objectivity? Reality? Facts? Not for this "Progressive News" Outlet

It seems reporter Jonathan Springston has been fired from the Atlanta Progressive News “because he held on to the notion that there was an objective reality that could be reported objectively, despite the fact that that was not our editorial policy at Atlanta Progressive News.”

From the APN's comments on the firing as posted on Creative Loafing:

At a very fundamental, core level, Springston did not share our vision for a news publication with a progressive perspective. He held on to the notion that there was an objective reality that could be reported objectively, despite the fact that that was not our editorial policy at Atlanta Progressive News. It just wasn’t the right fit.

“Progressive news is news that brings us closer to universal health care, living wages, affordable housing, peace, a healthy environment, and voting systems we can trust...

We believe there is no such thing as objective news. Typically, mainstream media presents itself as objective but is actually skewed towards promoting the corporate agenda of the ultra-wealthy.

APN, on the other hand, does not pretend to be objective."

Hmmm... wonder if there's any way to get such blanket statements of bias from CNN or Fox News? Oh, no, wait... they're too busy pretending to still be "fair and balanced", aren't they?
