"Whistleblowers" in the abstract, and in some concrete cases, are exhalted in the current American zeitgeist, but there seem to me to be two notable exceptions: short sellers, and political candidates who blow whistles on their opponents. Mind you, I think people generally resent the latter less than they think people generally do; I think the conventional wisdom that voters dislike "negative advertising" is not true of a majority of voters.
