This Riley is a servant of truth

Question

My prefix is a trusted mate.
My suffix, cause for neighbors' hate.
My infix is a cheerful youth.
My whole is a powerful servant of truth.

What am I?

HA! I didn't think to look up the answer. The original one is way funnier. — generalcrispy, Apr 23 '18 at 18:09
When should riddles be considered duplicates? has some relevant guidance here. I think this meets the threshold for being considered duplicate. — Rubio, Apr 23 '18 at 22:04
This is not a duplicate. By this logic, every poem in the praise of a rose would be called a duplicate, and every other ode to a nightingale would be mere plagiarism. One would assume that all journeys and paths to a common destination are not identical. — Amit Naidu, Apr 24 '18 at 05:22
Thanks for the note, @Rubio. And I agree with the title change, I like it far better. — generalcrispy, Apr 24 '18 at 13:44
