President Teddy Roosevelt on "The Man with the Muck Rake"

TR's April 1906 speech
The men with the muck rakes are often indispensable to the well being of society; but only if they know when to stop raking the muck . . . if they gradually grow to feel that the whole world is nothing but muck, their power of usefulness is gone.
Speaking of muckrakers, Warren Hinckle edited one of the most explosive muckraking magazines in history, Ramparts.
