BBC chiefs have defended the film as 'a cross between Louis Theroux and gonzo journalism'.

That isn't exactly a vote of confidence. Gonzo journalism isn't journalism at all. Hunter Thompsom was an entertaining fraud, but a fraud he was.

“Hunter Thompsom was an entertaining fraud, but a fraud he was.”

I believe that his main audience demographic was Leftist children and college kids, so it's no surprise that they would invoke his name in a pathetic attempt to defend the indefensible.
