Least-loved character?

Rita Skeeter. Unquestionably.

After spending 22 years, 10 months and 11 days in the newspaper 
business, I've heard all kinds of disparating remarks about "the 
press." Some remarks even from my own friends.

Let's just say that in dealing with the common, ordinary, day-to-day 
hometown newspaper, you generally won't find people like that. Yes, 
there are exceptions. But for the most part, the reporters are doing 
their jobs for the love of the business, i.e. providing necessary 
information to the public. Trust me, they're not in it for the 
glamor, the glory, the pay or the working conditions. I could tell 
you stories . . .   :-)

Anyway, I try not to take it all too seriously, but sometimes it 
strikes close to home and I vent. Now that I've vented, it's back to 
my <i>willing suspension of disbelief."
