Perhaps Jennifers chemo killed off way too many of her functioning brain cells, OR, she has always been a freakin liar.

Why did Fox News allow a story of this magnitude run with only anonymous sources? If none were willing to be on the record it can’t be good.

The idea I got - and pretty sure I read it somewhere - is that Trump does have an issue with the generals - “we don’t win wars anymore” or something to that effect. I also read that Trump takes the deaths of soldiers personally which would make him even less respectful of the generals. And then there is the issue that many of these military engagements are likely conducted for a profit for the companies who supply wars. I bet POTUS is disgusted that men have died so some business can make money or some politician can make himself look good.

I really admire Trump for not being goaded into another war and for making peace agreements using economic leverage. Of course the left barely discusses that peace has broken out. The left has had to expose themselves and it’s incredibly ugly.

She did her job.

Even if the original story has been retracted, there’s now tons of stories in other locations about Trump wanting her fired and what the original Fox piece said.

It does not meet standards because such a serious accusation must have
open sources, not anonymous sources too coward to identify themselves.

I saw this yesterday. No mention of Griffen’s “confirmation” story on their homepage. So I scrolled down to the bottom to “contact” and emailed my thoughts to them. Essentially they are saying that if they get an anonymous accusation from two sources they can run with the story. Even though these former officials were released and are obviously either/or disgruntled, globalists or never Trumpers...as is Griffen. This is CNN style “modern” journalism.

My question is will Fox News completely morph into Faux News?

Glenn Greenwald (no fan of DjT) warns that Fox’s Jennifer Griffin “confirmed” nothing. Confirmed would mean she knows who the unnamed sources are, and heard the same 2nd hand knowledge from them, which she did not.

She reports she has heard some say things that compliment the meme. Terribly weak stuff.

Freepers, excluding me, are too hep at ferreting out the truth and deconstructing lies for the msm to allow any allegation to stand for long. They put it out, let stand until they believe they have maximum use, then let it fade away.

This is really easy to explain, IMHO.

There’s a scene in Braveheart where Robert The Bruce’s father says to him “I’ll oppose this rebellion from the South, while you embrace it from the North. Come. Learn.”

This is simply FNC management finding a way to get the message they REALLY want out, all while trying to “appear” innocent.

Most of us see right through it, however.

Me-a-gyn got $69M and a couple of years to try her hand at morning TV for her sell-out, blatant take-out attempt at Trump. Wonder what Jennifer got. I’m sure it’s far less, but sure would be interesting to see an audit of her and her family’s bank accounts.

I have it on no less than four confidential informants that Griffin is a sadistic lesbian. They say that she is so 'kinky' that even confirmed sadists refuse to date her.
