“The press is a gang of cruel faggots Journalism is not a profession or a trade; it is a cheap catch-all for f****d-up drunks and misfits-a false doorway to the backside of life, a filthy piss-ridden little hole nailed off by the building inspector, but just deep enough for a wino to curl up from the sidewalk and masturbate like a chimp in a zoo-cage”
— Hunter S. Thompson
