It all depends, doesn’t it? People who ‘blow the whistle’ on PDJT, Supreme Court nominees or Conservatives are brave souls who have been pushed to their limits and only reluctantly come forward. People who blow the whistle on abortionists or our First-Amendment-protected press are lowlifes who illegally secretly record and then release ‘heavily-edited’ results.
The first are to be believed no matter how little evidence (if any) they provide. The second are haters whose claims have been repeatedly ‘debunked’ in spite of the fact that there is actual video evidence (See Joe Biden recordings).
Some are asked to step aside and are advised that rather than push it ....
