As a kid I told some of my life story to tv and magazines - it was more than dramatic enough by itself. Nevertheless it was changed beyond recognition - I might as well have been someone else or the might as well have stayed at their desks and created a work of fiction. I think if journalists are doing that - they're not journalists. Also I don't want fabricated media - there's really enough ---- out there. Thanks for doing this story.
