Journalism has always been hated by those in power and by proxy their followers.
It's arguable thats a sign that they're doing a good job.
Few profession I have more respect for than journalists and police.
Most of them are trying to fight evil and make society better and are disliked for it.
They are a gritty grizzled bunch.
Sometimes journalists (or "journalists") are the ones in power or they are controlled by those in power
