Fox News anchor Howard Kurtz condemned network contributor Mollie Hemingway for naming the alleged whistleblower on his show.
Hemingway mentioned Eric Ciaramella, 33, a career CIA analyst, on Sunday's episode of Media Buzz and argued that "the media should be in the business of sharing information that is in the public interest." Kurtz, however, disagreed both at the time and on the network's The Daily Briefing the next day.
I dont think its the role of the media to disclose the identity of the whistleblower, Kurtz said. As you know, a name came up on my program yesterday. I dont think that should have happened. Mollie Hemingway says that she was simply repeating a name that had been bandied about by certain sites, and no one had told her that Fox and other organizations were not using the name.

The ROLE of the media is ONLY to PROTECT the DEMOCRATS!
Certainly up there.
I remember its’ predecessor. That was worse.
Another media analysis of media show with Eric ? hosting and an obnoxious leftist foil.
Tucker is must-see TV.
Go Mollie!
Are you sure its new?
Find a different line of work, Howie. You suck at this one.
Inside the Beltway media clymers like Kurtz are so predictably phony and beneath contempt. A simple search easily proves what a hypocritical piece of crap he is.
From a July 17, 2001 online discussion Kurtz held on the life of Washington Post publisher Katherine Graham in the immediate aftermath of her passing that day.
Washington, D.C.: If you had to pick three of Katharine Graham's most important contributions to the field of journalism what would those be?Publish classified material? Oh heavens, yes! You must make it public and hail all those who do. Disclose the name of a so-called whistleblower? A grave offense against humanity. Another reason why we detest the major media.Howard Kurtz: The first two are easy: Refusing to back down during the Pentagon Papers and Watergate battles, and turning The Washington Post from a second-tier paper into a nationally recognized media powerhouse.

Emphasis added.
KURTZ: Hes been kind of quiet lately on the political scene.
IMUS: It will be interesting to see how his new career in acting comes along.
KURTZ: I didnt know he was doing some acting on the side. Where did you hear this?
IMUS: Really? Its all over the news! He plays Gollum in that new Lord of the Rings movie.
KURTZ: Wow! I hadnt heard that. I will definitely have to check that movie out!
The conversation went on about Carvilles performance as Gollum for several minutes, and that nitwit never even knew Imus was making him look like a jackass on the air. LMAO.
@HowardKurtz Not saying Eric’s name doesn’t hide anything but an already well-known truth - why do you moan so much about it? If your shoe stinks because you stepped in a pile of poop, pretending the poop wasn’t ever there doesn’t stop the stink...
You can’t disclose what is already been disclosed. All you can do is report that it has been disclosed.
Howard Kurtz is a Putz!!! I cannot stand the guy...he is such a weak sister whimp...Fox News Channel should broom him, along with Chris Wallace, etc. As for Ms. Mollie Hemingway...she is a true profile in courage. God bless you Mollie...we, the American people are with you, we luv ya gal.....great girl at that!!!
Not whistleblower; sleaze bag leaker.
Fox News is being stupid. They should fire Kurtz for colluding with the Democrat Party.
Get bent, Howard.
And get your stupid Democrat show off my TV.
Koward Hurtz is pathetic. I notice that whenever he mentions Jeffrey Epstein being friends with Slick, he always says, “Epstein, who was friends with Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.” Oh, how “balanced” of him.
Kurtz is a news anchor?
He has a show, but he’s not an anchor...
A thought an anchor was someone who read the news on camera for viewers...
Like Hannity, Ingraham and Gutfeld, Hungry Howie hosts an opinion show.
Mollie’s in trouble at Fox. She did the right thing but she’s going to pay a price for it. She’s been in trouble since she took out Never Trumper Stephen Hayes about a year and a half ago, embarrassing him on national tv.
DOESN’T ANYBODY REMEMBER THAT OBAMA ARRESTED WHISTLEBLOWERS AS SPIES
I’ll say his name
Voldemort!
