Unlike 99.99% of politicians and "journalists"..all non-human animals are 100% innocent, free from blame, guilt, never commit crimes, war crimes etc.

Try these descriptives instead:

Detritus, dregs, scum, filth, cesspool slime

And please don't even think about using / abusing the word "excrement" by comparing "journalists" or politicians to a natural resource that can be used to re-fertilize barren land and bring forth not just food but re-activate entire eco-systems: so the complete polar opposite of what politicians and "journalists" propagate and perpetuate.
