Fox News’s Jennifer Griffin contradicts Tucker Carlson’s coverage of Russian conspiracy
aol ^ | March 10, 2022 | STEPHEN PROCTOR

Fox News National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin appeared on Hannity where she addressed recent Russian propaganda claiming the U.S. has secret bioweapon labs in Ukraine.

Griffin said, “Those are Soviet-era biolabs that the U.S. has been engaged [with] since 2005 in trying to help Ukraine convert the research facilities safely.”

“In Uzbekistan, for instance,” Griffin said, “the US eliminated nearly 12 tons of weaponized anthrax from an island in the Aral Sea in 2001.”

Griffin reiterated the concern that U.S. officials have that Russia is only making these claims as a pretext to their own use of these types of weapons.

“White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Moscow’s talk today about these biolabs has led to concern by U.S. intelligence,” Griffin said, “that Russia could use chemical or biological weapons in Ukraine to create a false flag operation using them.”

Griffin’s reporting on the Russian claim stood in sharp contrast to what Tucker Carlson said. Carlson, who has been accused of pushing Russian propaganda on multiple occasions, took the admission by Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland that there are biological research labs in Ukraine as an admission of guilt. Carlson not only played a clip of a Russian official making the claim, but went on to propagate it himself.

“Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe,” Carlson said. “It’s hardly a hotbed of biomedical research. We’re assuming these weren’t pharmaceutical labs. Probably not developing new leukemia drugs. From your answer, Victoria Nuland, we would assume, because you all but said it, there’s a military application of this research. They’re working on bioweapons.”

Griffin pointed out that U.S. involvement with these labs is neither new nor secret.

“ But what Russia does is they take that information, distort it, turn it around and turn it into disinformation.”

Why would we not spend the billions on research inside our country, employing American citizens?

Yet another valid question - which probably will go un-answered by Fed.gov, or will have to trickle-out slowly via leaks, FOIA requests, etc. etc.

The same old BS game Americans have to play with their own government.

You are an object of the Deep State/WEF group. Your opinion is taken with a grain of salt because you can’t stand it when people take an opposing view. This is common leftist behavior.

Because if a leak happens it is harder to blame another country for it.

The Xiden regime just spent the last week claiming this was Russian disinformation, that the labs didn't exist.

Now they admit that they do exist and we are working there.

One must ask "like Wuhan?".

Tucker has been more right than Griffin lately.

I’m inclined to believe Jennifer Griffin. She left FNC because she was offered a shitload of money to leave. She has very good connections within the DoD.

If these labs were from the Soviet era, her explanation makes sense.

If these labs were Putin’s real concern, he would have publicly stated this reason before he invaded.

I’ll stay with Tucker’s assessment and commentary.

Griffin is a Deep State stooge.

She wouldn't dare debate Tucker in this issue.

“Griffin is the Official Spokesperson for the Military-Industrial Complex. Eisenhower would have seen her as a traitor. And so do I.”

Let me repeat that...

Jennifer Griffin reads a statement from the DoD word for word, and then — when asked for evidence — says that the evidence is what she just read:

“She should debate Tucker Carlson. Would be fun to watch.”

Watch her eyes in this video, “BRET BAIER: Understand, but Poland is a member of NATO, so is the U.S. So, how does Poland flying the jets in not draw NATO and thereby the U.S. into the same war? “

"It may very well be that Carlson is wrong but I strongly doubt he’s intentionally spreading disinformation."

Tucker is not right or wrong. He is very careful with his words. If you watch his show, he is asking questions about many things that do not make sense to a thinking person. He even allows for his own ignorance on any particulars he is not familiar with and invites those he mentions on to the show to share their own views, the majority of which do not take him up on the offer. The problem the leftist media and the deep state has with Tucker is that he brings issues to light that the left and the DC cesspool would rather be kept in the shadows.

Agree. Carlson pretty much stands alone in the corporate news media in that regard.

The Deep State’s Embed at Fox News Jen Griffin Continues to “Report” By Reading Statements Delivered to Her by Her Pentagon “Sources”

https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/4045605/posts

They’re not her sources, they’re her handlers.

Jennifer Griffin dutifully reads from her script. Glowing with pride as she proudly serves her Pentagon Masters.

Ukraine gambled on NATO admittance and on bribing the coke head and his father. Globalists are all over Russia probably because Vlad doesn’t like LGBT faeries. Sorry but I don’t trust the Ukies. I think people are getting emotional because we all know friends and associates that are Ukrainian.
