Wouldn't people be more likely to see something in the news on a day when they're not busy with work?

General usage patterns across the internet usually show a decline in use on weekends.

Waiting several days to publish news is not courageous -- it's just late.

The public expects news organizations to publish the news as soon as it's known.

Looks like it was "..the whistleblower platform Lioness.." that released it today. Interesting that you point out it would have been more effective in the news cycle if it had landed another day.

Perhaps this is a case of Hanlon's Razor and the whistleblowers need to get more savvy.
