Which circle of Hell is reserved for journalists?

Depends...

8th Level: The Eighth Circle of Hell The Eighth Level of Hell is for those guilty of fraud: the thieves, liars, cheats, sorcerers and false prophets.

9th Level: The Ninth Circle of Hell Treachery is punished in the 9th and lowest level of hell. Those who have betrayed a special relationship in committing their crimes are condemned to the lowest and most horrific level.

it was a long time ago but iirc it was a PBS FrontLine round table about reporting on war and went somethinmg like this...

A uniformed Captain ask Mike Wallace if he would let a US patrol get killed in the ambush he was reporting on from the other side.

He replied he probably would keep quiet because he was a reporter and not a combatant. He was then ask if the ambush was blown and now he was captured and screaming for help, should the soldiers rescue him to which he said "yes he was still a citizen."

The Captain raised his arm and pointed the stump of a wrist where his hand should be and said "Mister, we'd do it, and some good men would probably get killed… and you AREN"T WORTH IT!!!"
Needless to say he had no reply, you could hear a pin drop.

In 2005, he brought out his memoir, “Between You and Me.”

Among those interviewing him about the book was son Chris, for “Fox News Sunday.” His son asked: Does he understand why people feel a disaffection from the mainstream media?

“They think they’re wide-eyed commies. Liberals,” the elder Wallace replied, a notion he dismissed as “damned foolishness.”

He was Jewish. I don’t think he celebrated Easter.

Yes, a pioneer of the destructive, lurid, LEFTIST journalism of today.

A fool and a vengeful, malicious fool.

God rest his soul.

Need to find out where he will be buried, so that I may be able to go and out of respect, leave a token of my appreciation, after a few beers.

Need to practice for Fonda.

The ambivalence I feel is poignant to say the least. Chris came out pretty good but Mike did a lot of bad things when he invented/perfected the “jump out from behind a bush and gotcha” mode of “investigative reporting.”

As with all, I leave it to God to judge his soul but I personally won’t bless Mike’s works.

Rest in peace and prayers for Chris and the rest of the family.

According to the obit on Wallace by the Associated Press, he described his politics as "moderate."

Maybe it was because he reached his peak in an earlier era, but I don't seem to recall him as the kind of lefty propagandist that's commonly employed by CBS News nowadays.

We may hope that he found a path to the Lord — who gave him over 90 years to find it.
And let’s hope he was at least rated to enter purgatory. None should be lost.
Godspeed, fool. ABH! (Anywhere but hell.)

The one and only thing you ever need to know about the man. Nothing else need ever be said.
