Fox News Host On NSA Story: Wall Street Won't Let A 'Puny Little Traitor...Take Down Our Market'
The Dow was down 120 points today, prompting Fox News' David Ruder to suggest it was because USA Today made "the country less safe" by running its story on NSA's data mining.
But Fox News host Brenda Butler disagreed, saying that Wall Street would "not going to let some puny, little traitor, some leaker who went ahead and compromised our national security, take down this, take down our market, take down our country." ...
BUTLER: Let me tell you something. Wall Street knows, we are winning this war on terror. They are not afraid that we will win it. They are so secure in President Bush's winning it, they are not going to let some puny, little traitor, some leaker who went ahead and compromised our national security, take down this, take down our market, take down our country, there is no way....Video clip here. The USA Today story was "NSA Has Massive Database of Americans' Phone Calls." It describes the very program that's in the news today.
So how does Fox feel about that same program now? Is the publicizing of the program a threat to our markets and our country? Is the leaker of the story a traitor?
Er, not exactly:
Gosh, what's changed since 2006?
