Even when you're being an asshole, which is much of the time, you're usually coherent. What your point is here completely eludes me, though. What truth are you talking about? And why shouldn't I care what people think? Maybe you don't care much what people think - evidence is that you don't - but I do. It's part of being a journalist, no?
