Whistleblower vs "Whistleblower"

Last week a classmate described the difference between a Whistleblower and a "Whistleblower." this differentiation was pretty eye opening.

With the Trump impeachment hearings currently going on, there's a lot of talk about "whistleblowers" appearing in the White House, but it's an important distinction to make.

A Whistleblower is a "Federal employee who reports wrongdoings to better the system, and they are protected under the 1989 Whistleblower Protection  Act (WPA)"

A "Whistleblower" is "a federal employee who reports mismanagement for a political agenda." 

These differentiation's are quite important, so we understand how true some of these statements are. It's super frustrating to not know who you can trust, because of political corruption.

This fact demonstrates why doing personal research is so important. With all the biased news going on today, we need to understand the unbiased side of the story as well.
