    I mean did you read what I wrote or did you just go into fanboy mode?

    Firstly, Hunter was not the first person to write an opinion piece, or to write from the perspective of the subject. So “inventing” gonzo journalism? What the fuck does that even mean.

    I like his style of writing, but it is commentary. Not journalism.

    Literally the name journalism gives you insight as to what the approach of writing is meant to be. A journal is a series of entries in a book denoting objective facts. Commentary on one’s experiences is called a dairy.
