FBI Goes After Whistleblower Who Helped Unmask the 'Fort Bragg Cartel'

The article frames federal action against a whistleblower using inflammatory language ('Goes After,' scare quotes around 'Fort Bragg Cartel,' 'retaliation') that presupposes the government's conduct is illegitimate. The source framing centers the journalist's and whistleblower's perspective (their claimed motivations and characterization of events) rather than balancing with government justification or prosecutorial rationale. Reason's libertarian editorial stance is evident in the framing of federal power as inherently suspicious.
