I created hoaxes. I confronted and challenged the majority opinion. I attacked, humiliated, and criticized the voice of the corporate mainstream media.

What do we believe? Why do we believe it?

Most reporters who come to me get their stories directly from press releases. Very few do what one would consider to be their professional duty.

But my favorite work is always my next piece.

It would make life much easier if I could have total faith and not question everything all the time, but I can't do it and I won't do it.

Most important to any fake story is a plausible, realistic edge with a satirical twist that is topical.

Any journalist worth his or her salt wouldn't trust me.
