Rita was not out to hurt people.  She just didn't
care.  She was out to sell papers.  Articles about
Harry sells papers and since his real story was
boring, she spiced it up.

Salit>
Instead she looked for dirt. The first thing we find
about her, from 
her Quick Quotes Quill is that her goal as a
journalist is blowing 
people's reputation - not accounting to the public
what really 
happens in the world.

I would not like to be friends with someone like a
Rita Skitter, but 
at least she did not PERSONALLY try to KILL anyone,
just humiliate 
them. There is a difference between being "HORRIBLE"
and UNKIND.

This has been a topic of speculation for a while and I
see here that Fred did get my feelings about Umbridge
and Rita. 
They are both really not nice people. But they also do
not fall into the same category. Rita : She is a foul
mouthed, selfish, mean lousy person. There is no
reason for her to be that way, no excuse. Even the
damn excuse of selling stories. Yeah! they did sell.
But she didnt do it only for that. She is basically a
bad person and enjoys being bad.
Umbridge: On the other hand, this female is evil,
power hungry, sadistic and cruel. Also should had she
a very very very bad. She does all this because she is
power hungry. She want to hold the reins and pull the
brakes. She wants to control every thing and everyone.
She is bad in her own way. Puttin gthese two people
together would mean disaster to the world. 
I have one other feeling....We haven't sen the full
evilness of Rita. She may be as mean as Umbridge, just
that we dont know to equal depths about the two to
come to a conclusion. IMO Umbridge is a step more evil
that Rita, but Rita can be motivated(provoked) to
excell Umbridge.
