Report: Fox News Management Forbids Hosts from Using Alleged Name of Ukraine ‘Whistleblower’
Breitbart ^ | November 6, 2019 | JOSHUA CAPLAN

Posted on 11/06/2019 3:08:27 PM PST by AAABEST

CNN Business states that while some Fox News personalities want to use the name reportedly linked to the “whistleblower” complaint, bosses have warned against the move. On October 31, an unnamed executive emailed staff that the network had not “independently confirmed [the] name or identification of the anonymous whistleblower” and advised to “NOT fulfill any video or graphic requests” in connection to the so-called “whistleblower’s” identity, according to the report.

The demand from Fox News management to staff includes some of the network’s most-high profile personalities, including Sean Hannity. Jeanine Pirro, host of Justice with Judge Jeanine, suggested on Friday that hosts were to follow the guidelines, telling viewers that she and other employees “apparently can’t say Ciaramella’s name.” On Monday, Hannity said he “confirmed independently” the so-called “whistleblower’s” name, though he opted against revealing this name.

Sean Hannity nearly bursts every night, trying hard NOT to say the LEAKER’s name on live TV!

Sean can always just spell the leaker's name using the NATO Phonetic Alphabet...

Donald Trump Jr. just tweeted Eric Ciarramella’s name today and the media is responding predictably.

Before that RealClearPolitics broke the name (even as everybody already knew it), and Donald Jr. said 7 different magazines have published the whistle leaker’s name. To that extent, anybody can say “as reported by X magazine, the whistle leaker is Eric Ciaramella.”

Everybody in DC and the media knows Ciaramella is the whistle leaker. The problem is, the cowardly congressional GOP can’t subpoena him or call him to testify until somebody somewhere “official” publicly reveals his identity in such a way he can be said to be “outed”. That takes a mainline newpaper, a mainline cable TV outlet, a mainline TV news station, a quote from a national politician, or some such incontrovertible source.

As long as it is just the alternate media, everybody who knows his name has to go on pretending nobody knows his name. The most hilarious thing is when they go so far as to say “he or she”. They know bloody well it is a man.

What I would like to know its the original source of the info and how he got it. As I mentioned earlier, I think it was Sperry and it came out when he posted it on Twitter. I’m not sure Don Jr. and BOR have independently confirmed it. I suspect they haven’t.

For crying out loud.. it’s NOT a whistleblower! It’s a Freakin’ Leftist Scumbag Leaker who does NOT deserve anonymity!

the network had not “independently confirmed [the] name or identification of the anonymous whistleblower”

IOW - The network does not want to confirm this to maintain the this denial of truth.

This Stasi tactic worked when there wasn't an interweb at everyone's fingertips. Whatever..,why not flash this instead of using his name?

He’s waiting for the last of his children to graduate from HS and go off to college and then he’s out of there.

That said, every one of those hosts should all on the same night say guys name. Including, Ingraham, Carlson, and Dobbs.

Together this group make up the bulk of Fox “news” viewership.
The rest of their line-up combined doesn’t even come close.

It won’t happen of course.

If PDJT knows name of alleged whistleblower then that’s good enough for me.

Under new Fox policy, welcome to the news:

“Today or possibly last night, someone has been alleged, we have been informed by someone else, to have possibly done a certain thing. If this is later proven to have happened it was said by someone to have been done at an undisclosed location. To quote the alleged person “No comment at this time.”

Even more of our exclusive Fox breaking news details to follow. Stay with Fox News for possible updates.

The lawyer has threatened to sue based on the release of the name causing the rat harm

On the first look, that looks like an empty blow hard threat.

But think about it. The guy is a top rated candidate for arkanside.. He knows entirely too much about obummer, hillary, brannon and the rest of them.

So many that it would be hard to figure out who did it.

So the lawyer could make someone miserable.

We all know the name so this is a lot of noise about nothing.

Fox management is ridiculous.. All anyone has to do is DuckDuckGo Eric Ciaramella and it’s Whistleblower all over the place. Wish it said Whistleleaker instead.

Fox News used the names of 15 yr olds at Covington HS.

Howard Kurtz, Chris Wallace, and Smirking Shepherd Smith.

Now, they’re worried about protecting the Coup leaders.
