Rita Skeeter was a journalist in the Harry Potter universe. She exposed very real truths about certain characters and was continually punished for it!
Upon exposing Hagrid as a half-giant and Hermione to be playing with both Viktor Krum's and Harry Potter's hearts (both v true facts), Hermione immediately snatched her up and blackmailed her into ruin, eventually forcing her to write reports at Hermione's demand.
She later exposed Albus Dumbledore for the disgusting man he was - dreaming of a paradise existing only of purebloods and erasing the world of people he considered to be lessors. Typical white supremacist imo! This revelation, to us in the real world, would definitely have us rethinking our admiration of heroes (and has of many admired people irl who, even after death, were exposed to be racist, etc.) but JK Rowling wants us to believe it shouldn't affect how we feel of him! Disgusting!
JK Rowling said that after book 7, Rita also wrote a similar revealing biography about Snape, and said Harry defended Snape's honour! Excuse me! Just because Snape was obsessed with his mother and refused to enter the friendzone doesn't rid him of all his faults! Let the woman expose him!
I just really believe Rita is the real hero in the universe - exposing all these fake" heroes" for the monsters they really are, and constantly being punished for it! How similar to our real world! Wow.
