Main Story: NewsGuard, the Surrogate the Feds Pay to Be a Judge of the Truth.
My name is Kendrick and I'm a reporter with NewsGuard.
This doesn't meet NewsGuard's standards for ownership disclosure, so I was wondering if RCI intends to add any information along these lines, or whether you have a comment?
We intend to add information about RCI's recent investigation alleging to reveal the identity of the intelligence community whistleblower, and I'd like to ask a few questions about that story.
Did any of the anonymous sources mentioned confirm that [Eric] Ciaramella is the whistleblower, or did they repeat discussions that he is potentially the whistleblower?
Why did the website characterize the whistleblower's report as 'hearsay' when an independent report indicated that the whistleblower had firsthand knowledge of what he reported?
Why did the report refer prominently to the whistleblower's bias without reporting that the ICIG stated it did not impact his judgement finding the complaint to be an "Urgent concern"?
Has NewsGuard made similar inquiries to those five organizations about their acceptance over the past three-plus years of illegal anonymous leaks from the intelligence community, leaks including Democrat-funded opposition research tracing back to Russian sources, concerning allegations found by a costly, lengthy federal investigation not to be criminal acts or even plausible - leaks that ultimately damaged lives, careers and reputations that seemed clearly driven by political animus rather than a concern for the public interest? When the news organizations had reasons to know that this was the case when they accepted many of the leaks, yet to date have failed to give their readers/viewers that context or identify the criminal leakers?
