Real Clear Politics is running a CNN article today that proclaims the whistleblower “credible.”
Think about that. Neither CNN nor RCP knows who the whistleblower is. He or she could be almost anyone. All the information needed to determine credibility is missing. On top of that we do know from the whistleblower’s complaint that he or she has no first hand knowledge of any of this. Instead he or she just repeated things that others supposedly said happened. That’s enough of a blow to credibility that American courts would bar all of this from being put into evidence because it is hearsay.
What all this means is that there is no way to judge the credibility of the whistleblower. The headline is a phony. What is worst though is that these media sites know this but push the nonsense anyway.
