In William Shakespeare's play, Henry IV, when Hotspur is being bored by an unctious guy who claims he can call spirits from the dead, Hotspur responds, "So can I, or so can any man; but will they come? I can teach you to shame the devil by telling the truth, tell truth and shame the devil."

I thank the journalist for speaking the truth, even though some people in the cult can feel no shame.

Full text of Hotspur's advice:

"And I can teach thee, to shame the devil by telling the truth: tell the truth and shame the devil.

If thou have power to raise him, bring him hither, and I'll be sworn I have power to shame him hence.

O, while you live, tell truth and shame the devil."
