Investigative reporting is not a way to make friends.
In the best of all possible worlds, everybody would be honorable, but that's not the way the world works. Reputations for reporters are made by discovering things underneath that rock.
Truth is the ultimate power. When the truth comes around, all the lies have to run and hide.
What passes for investigative journalism is finding somebody with their pants down - literally or otherwise.

A hard-hitting investigative report that uncovers a nugget of genuine truth is the ultimate viral hit.
Would that I could discover truth as easily as I can uncover falsehood.
The truth always finds it's way out, even years and years and years later. The truth always prevails.
You can't discover one foot of clay on an idol without suspecting the other.
