Herewith is my proposal for a new word to be added to the English langtuage. I looked it up and no such word currently exists.
The word is "ediphile".
The word applies to (for example) a typical New York Times journalist who would call patriots and those genuinely concerned with the future of their country "terrorists" in an effort to generate "buzz" over their harebrained, left-twisted nonsense. Since Conservatives generally do not engage in this type of bomb-throwing juvenile name calling and are thus left undefended against same, we need a word to describe someone who would commit unspeakable acts from their editorial position. That the word rhymes with and may be mistaken for "pedophile" is just a bonus.
Carry on.
Sounds like someone who likes to eat.
Someone on Urban Dictionary already coined it:

One who enjoys and promotes the edification (enlightenment) of others.
There’s already a word for it: Fascist.
you are overdoing it
