Vilified?

This post in Jewlicious brings up some interesting info on the 16th Knesset that is going out (not with a bang, rather with a whimper).

According to house Speaker Reuven Rivlin:

The 16th Knesset was undoubtedly the most vilified Knesset in the history of the state.

Vilified... Hmm... Means that the poor angels were dragged through the mud by the media, probably with enthusiastic assistance from Joe the Public. Undeservedly.

Or is it just a translation problem?
