New York Post  Writer Demolishes The Sanctity Of Journalism
NYPost

These last couple of weeks have proven that truly America chose Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton to represent America's future- like the reality hit hard, and also Donald Trump's plans for the White House make as much sense as eating cereal with orange juice. Other factors include that despite the Trump children's claims, I will never believe that Donald Trump cares for women's rights, I will never believe that Trump will make "America Great Again", and most importantly I will never believe that Trump is the future of the Oval office.

Despite several news articles published about Trump's rather suspicious, benevolent, and frankly downright wrong past, Trump managed to snatch the Republican nomination right under the noses of other decent competent politicians who I think did a better job at hiding their skeletons in the closet (if they had any to hide). I think by now, news publications are rather tired of the same plain and boring news cycles covering Donald Trump's past because the truth is, the man is winning no matter how sketchy his 70 years of life is. So, what do we do now that Donald Trump is boring news? Let's shift our focus on Melania Trump, yes, because she is the one who has the chance to sit on that chair, sign bills, and ruin the life of any American who is not remotely as wealthy as her social circle.The perfect calling for the New York Post, who until their latest heinous act, I had no recollection of their publication. I didn't even remember learning about them in 9th grade history class until I looked them up on Wikipedia.

The New York Post in a not so brilliant move decided to unearth naked pictures of Melania Trump in a vain attempt to derail Donald Trump's plans for the Presidency. The pathetic move isn't even remotely as pathetic as the article written by the author, Isabel Vincent.

According to her, she is an "investigative reporter...covering political corruption" *insert confused face*. After looking high and low , I can tell you, there wasn't much investigation to be done regarding the pictures, nor did she manage to dig up political misdeeds done by Mrs. Trump. This was simply a case of fueling the need for tabloid sells, click baiting the public, and once again proving that real journalism is dead, and what truly sells are shallow articles meant to cause the wrong controversy.

I'm a firm believer that not all is fair and game when it comes to political candidates. Of course you can investigate a political candidate's spouse, but, using the political candidate as the talking point because they're the one running is the best way to have an effect on how that past directly correlates with the morals, beliefs, and judgments of the political candidate. So, Isabel Vincent, you can not humiliate and demean Melania Trump just for laughs and page views, and on top of that release an article just as shallow as your intention. Not only is it not respected but I can imagine if I ever got the heart to do something like this, it would leave a bad taste in my mouth, and a stain on my image. I recently read a New York Times article written by Jill Filipovic and it is the perfect example of how to use a political campaign spouse as the talking point.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
