If I'm successful in fooling a wire service, I don't really have to do anything else to promote the story.

But I learned first-hand how the news media operates by watching how they interpreted, changed, and misrepresented my intentions.

The media's job is to question a premise.

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

I've always been a fine artist.

I learned more complex ways to manipulate the manipulators, to bring attention to issues about which I felt passionate.

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.
