They would poke their noses into the most intimate family affairs and would not rest until they had sniffed out some petty item which could be used to destroy the reputation of their victim.But if the result of all this sniffing should be that nothing derogatory was discovered in the private or public life of the victim,they continued to hurl abuse at him,in the belief that some of their animadversions would stick even though refuted a thousand times.In most cases it finally turned out impossible for the victim to continue his defence,because the accuser worked together with so many accomplices that his slanders were re-echoed interminably.But these slanderers would never own that they were acting from motives which influence the common run of humanity or are understood by them.Oh,no.The scoundrel who defamed his contemporaries in this villainous way would crown himself with a halo of heroic probity fashioned of unctuous phraseology and twaddle about his ‘duties as a journalist’ and other mouldy nonsense of that kind.When these cuttle-fishes gathered together in large shoals at meetings and congresses they would give out a lot of slimy talk about a special kind of honour which they called the professional honour of the journalist.Then the assembled species would bow their respects to one another.
