Professional bullshit artists, in the sense of the technical definition given by Harry Frankfurt in his influential book:

Frankfurt determines that bullshit is speech intended to persuade without regard for truth. The liar cares about the truth and attempts to hide it; the bullshitter doesn't care whether what they say is true or false.
