The ‘Whistleblower’ Probably Isn’t

. It’s an insult to all of these people, and the suffering they’ve weathered, to frame the ballcarrier in the Beltway’s latest partisan power contest as a whistleblower.

I’ve met a lot of whistleblowers, in both the public and private sector. Many end up broke, living in hotels, defamed, divorced, and lucky if they have any kind of job. One I knew got turned down for a waitressing job because her previous employer wouldn’t vouch for her. She had little kids. “It took me and my lawyers a full year to get [the media] to stop calling me ‘CIA Leaker John Kirakou,” he says. “That’s how long it took for me to be called a whistleblower.”about the CIA’s torture program. For talking to American journalists about the CIA, our federal government charged Kiriakou with espionage.

This whistleblower isn't a whistleblower because Manning is the true whistleblower. Also, this lion cub isn't a lion because there are adult lions and they're way bigger. A liter of Coke? Fuck no this two liter of Coke is Coke, that's just cola with the exact same branding.

mtaibbi It's like you're debasing the whistleblower because his life hasn't been ruined yet. What an incredibly stupid story, by an incompetent and oblivious writer. Matt should be fired, along with the rest of the wannabe writers that haven't written a worthwhile story for RS ever.

mtaibbi I hear you Matt. But the treatment of the “WhistleBlower” by the media and establishment doesn’t diminish their claim. Youre not addressing the substance of the claim as much as the reaction to it, which I get is favorable in this particular case more than others before.

RaniaKhalek mtaibbi Spot on Matt.

mtaibbi What happened to Matt the last 5 years?

mtaibbi Great article.

mtaibbi It’s clear from these replies that reading comprehension is in short supply.

mtaibbi Hey why are you publishing this Kremlin crap?

mtaibbi So he doesn't think the Ukraine whistleblower is a 'real whistleblower', unlike John Kiriakou who literally works for Putin & whitewashes Assad's genocide. No mention anywhere of Reality Winner. I wonder why? Why does keep publishing this sub-Greenwaldian drivel?

mtaibbi OMG. Taibbi's basic thesis is: 'Trump isn't yet as bad as previous administrations in how they treated whistleblowers so therefore this whistleblower ain’t a real whistleblower, and Ukraine is just another Russiagate.' Another straw man essay to obfuscate for his low info readers

mtaibbi JFC this is a horrible take. It’s not even honest! It’s based on mtaibbi’s own rules for what’s considered a whistleblower!

mtaibbi Ohhhh ffs, everything is an insult. 🙄

mtaibbi It’s an insult to call Matt a real writer at this point.

mtaibbi Matt sinks further into irrelevance with this pointless article.
