I think they’re paranoid sociopaths who are afraid of the prescriptions of experts.
On the other point, journalists, by the nature of their job, must exercise a certain a priori restraint in order to retain credibility and build readership; but their ire at being misled should be equal in magnitude to their restraint. It is in the latter aspect that they’ve fallen down – every single lie should have been identified and roundly shafted right on the front page, leaving no doubt as to his mendacity.
