He was the only journalist telling it like it was when Richard Nixon died. Instead of kissing Nixon's ass, he reminded America what a cancer Nixon was to the body politic of America. A small taste: "Richard Nixon was an evil man--evil in a way that only those who believe in the physical reality of the Devil can understand it. He was utterly without ethics or morals or any bedrock sense of decency... He was a cheap crook and a merciless war criminal who bombed more people to death in Laos and Cambodia than the U.S. Army lost in all of World War II, and he denied it to the day of his death." Etc. etc., thank God
Google Thompson and Nixon and do a little reading. It's refreshing. I'm still pissed about how he ended it, though.
