what exactly is attested to when one appends one's name to a statement?

Enough that it is a requirement in our, and almost any rule of law.
The Whistleblower law was a great point. However they still are required to provide the evidence if they are to be taken as their word. At minimum, the whistleblower simply states the problems are occuring and then an investigation takes place.
The problem lays with the news agencies, liberal or not. They have no reason to investigate, it takes time and money. They also know if they take too much time, the anonymous guy might tell another paper. This is the major problem, that the desire is not to discover truth, but to sell ads.
