        Personal safety of him/her and family seems a pretty good reason to me, unless the WB elects to self-identify.

        You're presupposing the whistleblower is correct and honorable. For argument's sake, what if the whistleblower is maliciously abusing the process? Would he/she still be entitled anonymity because exposure would be dangerous?

        "I never expected an establishment press that so prides itself of reporting the news without fear or favor would so willingly surrender the role of independent investigators to its right-wing compatriots. But it has."

        Bingo! Tt's as if they're operating under an older system, where there was tighter control on information being spread. It isn't working very well for the media outlets not reporting this, especially given the Whistleblower's identity is widely known.

        Idiotic idea. Let's expose a protected source...which will put that person/family in harm's way...while also giving future witnesses of wrongdoing a reason NOT to be a whistle blower. #WastefulColumn

        “newsworthy story to right-wingers who might not be the greatest journalists but at least have the sense to ask the right questions. “ What if they’re wrong?

        Mark Felt had a vendetta against Nixon... does that change the facts of anything Deep Throat leaked?
