American here. I’ve never heard of it, and I read the news all day. It is very well written if it’s fake, but I mean I could hypothetically do that too…
If it’s even a real article, “whistleblower” is a busted term in the US right now. Rather than referring to some Erin Brokovitch, it currently means “an interest group has become aware of an allegation!”
I mean. Anyone can make an allegation. It doesn’t cost money unless you are doing fraud or defamation someone cares about. Dangerous examples have manifested as a tit-for-tat thing in congress, lately.
But. No one’s going to believe criminal intent or sue me for saying that President David Blaine, Esq, was observed disappearing at the White House Easter Egg Hunt. So I can kinda just say it.
If I said it on a platform watched by conspiracy theorists, with intent, it might be different, but almost certainly not.
I subsequently found out that NewsNation is the new home of Chris Cuomo, who was ousted by CNN a few years ago after some misconduct involving his brother, who was the governor of New York.
Now, I’m not going to assign it a credibility score yet, but Cuomo was a reasonably serious journalist.
Interesting that this media project hadn’t really crossed my radar.
Note: that doesn’t make aliens real, even though I wish so too.
Yes, that's what I'm saying. My post was a video! But there's also an article, ha ha ha! :) There's lots of content about this story now. And the Guardian and Fox have now picked it up. Which is good I guess. Apparently there will be much more testimony from Grusch dropping on the "Need to Know" podcast soon.
