I am OK with that nomenclature. It only highlights the bias in the MSM. Remember Linda Tripp?! She was a 'whistleblower' spilling the beans on a White House coverup, but was never treated as such by the MSM.
One person's "whistleblower" is another person's "snitch." "Snitch" is how the Clinton team portrayed Tripp, and the MSM picked up the ball and ran with it. And the MSM looked the other way - even cooperated - when the Clintonistas tried to dig up dirt on the personal lives of Starr's legal team. That was as bad or worse than anything Nixon did, and the press was complicit in it.
