From one of their own anchors, no less:

ANDREW NAPOLITANO: [T]he Japanese did learn that we broke their code, and so they started using a new code.

BRIAN KILMEADE: And guess what? What would you rather have? The Japanese knowing that we broke their code or a decision saying that journalists are allowed to write anything they can or want to write because they think the public needs to know. See, I’m more into the ends justifying the means. And what they do is you can sunset this, Judge. The same way they have the Patriot Act sunsetted. You put up the Office of Censorship. You get a consensus to journalists to analyze and then you realize what FDR realized early. Winning is everything. Freedom is — you don’t have any freedom if the Nazis are the victors. You have no one to trade with if Western Europe falls. That’s the reality. You’re in love with the law, but I’m in love with survival.

NAPOLITANO: I’m in love with your freedom, and I want you and me all the people we work with —

KILMEADE: You can’t have it both ways. You can’t have it both ways.

NAPOLITANO: Of course, we can. We have it both ways now. We can say whatever we want and the government can’t censor us and the government can still fight the war on terror. If we were to allow some office of the government to decide what journalists can say, that would be the same that the King of England imposed on newspapers in England and in the U.S. and that prompted the Revolution. It would be about the most un-American thing you can imagine. How can we fight a war to bring freedom to another country, to bring freedom of the press to another country when we’re crushing freedom of the press here at home?

KILMEADE: Not crushing — preserving our freedom by preserving our secrets because war is not a free thing. Intelligence is not something to be shared: It’s to be coveted and used to our advantage. Here’s what Roosevelt did. He appointed Byron Price, a respected journalist, to run the office. Price accepts the post on the condition that the media can voluntarily agree on a self-censorship. The Office employs 14,000, and they are civilians, to monitor cable, mail, and radio communications between the United States and other nations. The Office closes in 1945. Our nation still flies. The flag still soars.

NAPOLITANO: Scaring me to death, Brian, because I know they’d come after [Fox News host Bill] O’Reilly and me and you’d have to visit us in Gitmo.

KILMEADE: No, they wouldn’t. You’re not doing anything anti-American.
