Republicans allege that indicted arms trafficker Gal Luft has evidence of corruption on the part of President Biden
I feel like there's a concerted effort to delegitimize the entire concept of whistleblowing. They're getting more common, more partisan, and less backed by physical evidence.
82The blurred lines between accusation based on hearsay and whistleblowing is part of the problem. The Media is told the person is a whistleblower and mindlessly repeats it ad nauseam.
46The term media is now diffuse, and actual journalism sparse. And so unless you're an avid critical consumer of diverse sources you have little idea of what model is approaching reality.
Most big players, with fox news showing the way to profit from it, have nearly abdicated their responsibility to judge truth claims.
Being breathlessly first in a way that's pleasant to your demographic's ear is more important than being right.
10Or worse, repeats it knowing the short-term gains and ignoring the long-term consequences. If the Japanese balloon bombing of 1945 happened today, I am almost certain modern media orgs would choose profit over safety and refuse to save lives by keeping it secret.

Absolutely - a whistleblower goes to the authorities, not a political party.

You sound quite sombre, maybe you should visit the circus in town now, they have a clown that cheers everybody up. Goes by the name Pagliacci.
(It's a reference to watchmen, for those wondering)

Who signed off on that bail? Noooo he's not a flight risk. /s

Always projection.
25Of course the GQP whistleblower is a Chinese agent. Of course he is.
The chaos in this timeline is getting too predictable. We need to fire up the Large Hadron Collider and tear up space/time some more to keep things interesting. Throw a beach ball in there or something. Mix it up.
13Classic.
10Every accusation is an admittance.
