Journalist,Hunter S. Thompson, killed himself yesterday. I had not heard of him before but I read of his death in the top news story of the day. He was a writer that started the gonzo movement of journalism. This taught that objective reporting of only the facts did not give an accurate portrayal of the truth.
As I read the papers of today, I am amazed by the subjectivity. I remember being told as a junior high student that opinions were not to be included in a newspaper article but were to be reserved for the Editorial section.
Still, as I read of his death, I notice that there is no fictional ending. He killed himself.
