Whistleblowing doesn't require martyrdom or some sort of agenda of sticking it to the man. Whistleblowing means providing the public with proprietary insider information that one judges to be in the public interest, nothing more.

It's irrelevant if she represents some elite group or competing interest or whatever else. Someone can be at the same time aligned with some faction of the 'elite' while also being aligned with public interests, there is no necessary contradiction.

It's fashionable these days that every whistleblower these days wants to claim dissident status because it sells a lot of books and gets a lot of substack subscriptions but that's not really the point.
