Roosevelt means that a <em>muck-raker</em> - a journalist- is that person interested in dirt or filthy things - <em>muck</em>-. That person will do anything to get filthy information and to get it,  he / she will use a  <em>rake </em>to scratch the soil - or reality -  to pick up or invent the dark side of  humans. Roosevelt is furious because a group of journalists have disclosed controversial issues from his government. He shows his anger through   this speech on "The Man with the Muck- Rake" (1906).
