Hearst Corporation Editor Charged With DUI All This Time Greenwich Residents Thought Hearst Newspaper Editor David McCumber Wasn't Asleep At The Switch. But, Now We Learn That.... The Greenwich Time Head Honcho Was Apparently Asleep At A Bar Stool !!!! BUT WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM A DIM WITTED HEARST NEWSPAPER EDITOR THAT WANTED TO FIRE JOURNALIST HUNTER STOCKTON THOMPSON ..... At One Time, Before He Was Sent To The Hearst Newspaper Backwater, Known As The Greenwich Time, David McCumber Was The High Flying San Framsico Examiner Assistant Managing Editor That Was Responsible For Editing Hunter Thompson's Column. Yes, drunk as a skunk McCumber wanted to fire Hunter S. Thompson, the creator of Gonzo journalism, a style of reporting where reporters involve themselves in the action to such a degree that they become central figures of their stories. Clueless Editor David McCumber constantly bitched and moaned about the journalist and author who wrote The Rum Diary (1998), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (1971) and Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 (1973). Thompson started writing about pornography and wrote an article on a San Francisco strip club. As part of his research, in the spring of 1985 he spent evenings at the Mitchell Brothers O'Farrell Theater striptease club in San Francisco and his experience there eventually evolved into a full-length novel tentatively titled The Night Manager. Neither the novel nor the article has been published. Also, at that time Thompson was a writer for the San Francisco Examiner from the mid-1980s until the end of that decade. Thompson's editor at the Examiner, was dim witted Hearst Editor David McCumber, who would eventually steal Thompson's idea and make a mint writing about the Mitchell brothers, while he was stabbing Thompson in the back, reportedly telling Hearst Corporation executives that he was "deeply disappointed" in the quality of Thompson's Examiner columns. No wonder Hunter Thompson ended his life with a self inflicted gun shot wound to the head. You've basically got a no talent bum like editor David McCumber, whining about your work and then turning around a using what he has learned to write a book and get promoted as editor of Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
