Either make it clear you are speculating about two events being connected, or get evidence that links them.

  Is a whistleblower’s report speculation?
  • prosqlinjector 3y ago
    The individual is using the same reasoning as the headline. They weren't getting the fund they wanted and noticed there was a donation recently. They are speculating that that's the cause of their lack of organization support. "whistleblower" is a journalism word meant to imply who the good guy is and endow them with credibility. Rewriting the story with "employee files complaint" doesn't hit the same.

If this is really the evidence you think they're using I'd be willing to bet you didn't read their report: https://live-whistleblower-aid.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/2023_1128_Joan-Donovan-Declaration-LOCKED.pdf https://live-whistleblower-aid.pantheonsite.io/wp-content/up... Sure, it's all anecdotal -- it is testimony, after all -- but much of it is backed up by email and text conversations. On the topic of a potential conflict of interest, what do you think about the personal relationship between Doug Elmendorf and Elliot Schrage?
