Michael Voris of Church Militant: arguably a more reliable source of what’s really happening in the Catholic Church than a famous papal biographer.

In Praise Of Tabloid Catholic Journalism | The American Conservative
While Voris has been substantially vindicated this article turned into an attack on George Weigel. Let me note that the very author of the article (Rod Dreher) knew in advance all about McCarrick but held back on saying anything about it until someone else broke the story. He called it all a 'well known secret'. He left the Catholic Church but didn't feel it was important enough to reveal what he knew about McCarrick. I have a bit of distaste about that. Dreher was not a reliable source. He knew.

Weigel's point was that some do need to lower their blood pressure. He's being attacked as being part of the cover-up machine. 'Taint so. Attacking Weigel may be a new cottage industry, but it's misguided.
