Every newspaper on earth has called me a liar.

One of the reasons why I think people have gone from reading mainstream newspapers to the Internet is because they realize they're being lied to.

I also focus on Bush and his administration - who do a lot of lying - and how a right-wing media has allowed them to get away with a lot of stuff that, in a different media environment, they probably wouldn't be able to get away with.

I keep reading between the lies.

Well, I mean, the real attack on truth is tabloid journalism in the United States.

But sometimes in the midst of worry, anxiety and hard work, it has been pretty hard to bear all these false reports going about the country - to see my friends alienated and being made to believe things that were absolutely false.

Don't believe everything that you read in the newspapers.

If I'd written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people - including me - would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.

I tell myself lies and soon I believe them.
