Fox News Contributor Causes Scene When She Names Alleged Whistleblower on Air
Host Howard Kurtz, clearly startled, immediately shot back that he didn’t know if that person was actually the whistleblower.

1. She needs to be fired, yesterday. Although it is FOX so who knows.

2. Nasty crude people.

3. the underlying evil genius in naming "the whistleblower": hold the entire population hostage

certainly making threats against the whistleblower and/or the immediate family would be effective in discouraging other whistleblowers, but that is obviously illegal.

there is another way, and it looks like they are using it now.

have various pundits name others who are not "the whistleblower", thus encouraging redhat loyalist threats against them and their families.

what this says to people of conscience: "go ahead and whistleblow, we won't out you, but we'll make damned sure someone else's life is completely wrecked because of your actions. give us an excuse to attack our other political enemies directly. go ahead. enjoy the show."

how many lives will they be able to ruin this way, for each "the whistleblower" they out? they're going to need to go big with the first few to really make an impression.

4. The only reason to out the whistleblower is so their life & safety can be threatened.

5. It's too juicy; they're ALL chomping at the bit to spill it.

Most of them just probably want the "credit" for doing so. Imagine the likes/follows you'll get...
