Liu Guan asked the Master: "How should one treat journalists?"
The Master replied: "Poets and philosophers write down words to reveal truths. Historians write down words to preserve truths. Journalists, alone under heaven, write down words to hide or destroy the truth. They are lower than a jackal (猺)."
Liu Guan nodded, and went home to kill the town-crier.
