Life in Henry's wake

“...there is no such thing as objective journalism. The phrase itself is a pompous contradiction of terms.” – Dr. Hunter S. Thompson.

Whether we admit it or not all journalism is fraught with opinion. A friend recently forwarded an article from the Post which she thought might make good material for the blog. She was right, it was a really interesting stuff – the kind of stuff I should have been able to sink my teeth into. Should have, but couldn’t. I was unsure of my opinion, I couldn’t find my stand. It turns out that without some sort of subjective stance I have no article to write, therefore proving Dr. Thompson’s quote, which I used to open this blog, particularly relevant.

Rather than allowing the dilatory pace of my own ethical compass to delay sharing the article any longer I decided I would just post it. These are complicated issues that we as a society are going to have to deal with. They are not going away. Read about it. Think about it. Talk about it.
