Evil Pundit

Given the propensity of journalists to spy on both the government and the people, and to misreport, manipulate and even fabricate the news to serve their own political agenda, I can have no sympathy at all for them.

If journalists in general perhaps served some valuable public function, they might reasonably expect to have some limited exemption from the scrutiny that government bodies apply to everyone else. However, large sections of the profession have proven corrupt, and indeed could be regarded as the enemies of liberty.
