Frank Rich cites
Hunter S. Thompson's "unruly mix of fact, opinion and masturbatory self-regard." Rich adds: "But he was a blogger who had the zeal to leave home and report firsthand and who could write great sentences that made you want to savor what he found out rather than just scroll quickly through screen after screen of minutiae and rant," writes
Frank Rich. NOTED: "'Reporting America's Story,' NBC's slogan, is what Hunter Thompson actually did before the phrase was downsized into a vacuous marketing strategy."
