Why I Don’t Care About Your Fake Journalism Ethics

WHY I DON’T CARE ABOUT YOUR FAKE JOURNALISM ETHICS

By Whisper One

Let’s get something straight. I’m not here to play nice with people who’ve let a town stay suppressed while smiling for photo ops. I’m not here to beg for permission from the same systems I’m investigating. And I’m damn sure not here to stroke the ego of any corrupt official hiding behind a badge, a seal, or a PR team.

So no, I don’t follow your precious journalism ethics. And here’s why:

1. “Be Objective”

They say: Report both sides equally, even if one side is full of shit.

Why I don’t care:

I don’t “both sides” a broken hydrant. I don’t treat the truth and a cover-up like equal opinions. If one side lies and the other side drowns, I’m not neutral. I’m a threat.

2. “Minimize Harm”

They say: Don’t ruin reputations unnecessarily.

Why I don’t care:

The harm already happened, to the citizens. If exposing someone ruins their reputation, maybe they should’ve thought about that before screwing the town. I’m not destroying them, I am just shining the light.

3. “Don’t Be an Advocate”

They say: Report facts, not feelings. Don’t take a side.

Why I don’t care:

I report facts, and the facts are damning. If that makes me an advocate, so be it. Silence is complicity. I’ll take the side of the people getting lied to, robbed, and ignored every damn time.

4. “Avoid Conflicts of Interest”

They say: Don’t report on anything you’re personally tied to.

Why I don’t care:

I have lived here. I have worked here. I have roots here. I have spent a lot of money here. I’m watching this disaster unfold in real time. If that’s a conflict, then maybe they should conflict less with the truth. The only reason I’m involved is because no one else had the guts.

5. “Don’t Use Anonymous Sources”

They say: If a source won’t go on the record, don’t use it.

Why I don’t care:

People get threatened, fired, or worse for speaking the truth in small towns. I’ll take an anonymous whistleblower with receipts over a suit with a title and a script any day. I verify. I protect. That’s my standard. Oh and we have a magistrate who is a coward who was openly heard forbidding his daughter in public into going into businesses. All because who owns a building. Yeah I see you too you pompous ass.

6. “Keep Opinion Out of News”

They say: Don’t let your voice show. Be invisible.

Why I don’t care:

I have a voice, and I use it. I label facts. I label opinion. I label allegations, I label rumor. And I claim if I make even one mistake. But you better believe when I see corruption, you’re going to feel it in my tone. That’s not bias. That’s called being awake. An if you don’t like it PROVE ME WRONG, don’t whine about it. Some people are just parrots.

7. “Be Fair to All Parties”

They say: Give even the corrupt their voice.

Why I don’t care:

I give them a chance to speak. If they dodge, lie, or ghost me, that’s their problem. I’m not a PR agent. If fairness means giving cover to the corrupt, I’ll pass. I email, I call, I send open records requests, so do others. They ignore, they gaslight and instead of fixing infrastructure they spend 1.1 million dollars last year on the police force. GTFOH.

8. “Don’t Sensationalize”

They say: Keep the language calm and measured.

Why I don’t care:

Because I don’t have to answer to board members, I don’t have to answer to a boss. My name is Chris Collins, I am Whisper One and I don’t play nice when it comes to situations that could kill kids, like the 3 broken hydrants at the elementary school. That’s on an official report. I even have a map for it. Anyway this is my company, I started Whisper Networks. And I believe in blurred lines. Especially when all the old rot hides between them.

I’m not exaggerating, I’m reporting. If it sounds crazy, that’s not my fault.

9. “Triple-Check Everything Before Publishing”

They say: Don’t report until it’s bulletproof.

Why I don’t care:

I don’t wait to drop truth bombs because someone’s scared of the fallout. If a fact is solid, I run it. If it’s developing, I label it. And if I ever get something wrong? I correct it publicly and move on.

10. “Don’t Become the Story”

They say: Stay detached. Be invisible.

Why I don’t care:

I became the story the moment they tried to bury it. I didn’t start this because I wanted attention. I started it because no one else was watching. If shining a light makes me visible, so be it. And now I relish in it. If you don’t like this or that, again that unfollow is right up there. You’ll still watch though, the stats don’t lie.

Final Word:

I don’t reject ethics.

I reject the kind that protects power, silences truth, and pretends neutrality in the face of rot.

I follow one rule: Legal, verified, and loud.

Everything else?

That’s not ethics. That’s cowardice with a press pass. This is Guerrilla Investigative Journalism. Have you not seen the Whisper One logo . Here is the meaning:

The skull and crossbones on a red flag isn’t decoration, it’s declaration. It marks death to corruption, lies, and untouchability. The skull says no one is above consequence. The red flag signals emergency, rebellion, and zero mercy for those who’ve poisoned a town behind closed doors. Together, they warn: We see you. We’re not bound by your fake decorum. We don’t need your permission. We bring fire. This is the banner of The Falmouth Whisper.

Whisper One Out

P.S. The picture below is your Ethics about to burn to a cinder. I got an idea see if the elementary fire hydrants can put it out. Seriously you all have no idea.
