The Desk of Jack Hammer: The Favorites File
This isn’t just a list; it’s a collection of files that matter. A curated dossier of reports and memoirs that define the mission of Newzhammer.com. We deal in the truth, served up with a hardboiled, noir sensibility, and this is where you find the best of it.
Hard-Hitting News: The Straight Dope
The world is a maze of smoke and mirrors, with a new hustle around every corner. The articles in this section are the ones that cut through the noise. They’re the stories where a fact fought its way to the surface, bruised and battered, but whole. I report what I see, without embellishment, because the truth is more powerful than any lie. These are the cases that expose the real dirt, the kind that stains your hands and sticks to the soles of your shoes.
Hammer Files: The Memoirs
Every scar tells a story, and the memoirs in this category are the ones that shaped me. They recount the early days, the streets that taught me how to read people, and the cases that left their mark. They aren’t sugar-coated tales. They are gritty accounts of a life spent in the shadows, a life lived to find the truth, no matter the cost. These files reveal the origin story of Newzhammer and the personal code that drives every report.
Cynical Humor: A Bullet and a Laugh
In a world gone mad, a good sense of humor is a necessary defense. The pieces here aren’t about cheap gags. They are cynical observations on a broken system, a laugh that hits like a bullet ricocheting off a brick wall—unexpected and sharp. It’s the kind of humor that keeps a guy sane when the whole operation is teetering on the edge of disaster.
The Pulp-Noir Library
Before I had a license to report, I had the pulp rags and the silver screen to show me the way. This collection includes reviews and fiction that honor the noir genre. They are the stories of private eyes and femmes fatales, of moral ambiguities and a city’s endless corruption. These files are the blueprints of my style, the foundational stories that taught me the rules of the game before I ever stepped into the real one.
So there it is. The Favorites. A tour of a broken town and a look into the mind of a reporter who’s seen too much. Take a look. Read the files. And remember, the truth is a lot like a dame with a past: complicated, but worth a deeper look.
Don’t expect a smile.
