Jennifer Griffin... a fox news reporter who actually deals with facts

[butters]

she's been gaining attention for her fact-checking of several fox pundits; Sunday saw her saying 10 minutes wasn't enough time to correct what a former trump advisor, retired col. macgregor, had claimed about russia/Nato/USA

After MacGregror suggested that the U.S. should stop sanctioning Russia and providing military aid to Ukraine, Gowdy asked the ex-military officer if he believes Russia should just be allowed to take whatever portion of Ukraine they want.

“Yes. Absolutely,” MacGregor proclaimed. “I see no reason why we should fight with the Russians over something they have been talking about for years, and we chose to ignore it. And more importantly, the population there is indistinguishable from their own.”

“I feel like I need to correct some of the things that Col. Douglas MacGregor said, and I’m not sure that 10 minutes is enough time to do so because there were so many distortions in what he just said,” the veteran reporter flatly stated, adding that MacGregor sounded like an “apologist” for Putin. “I think the world has seen what Putin is capable of,” she continued. “To blame NATO membership for what we’ve seen Putin unleash, we have seen his own words that he is talking in czarist terms, from a 19th-century view of imperial Russia, so what he just said was so distorted that I do feel our audience needs to know the truth.”

“The kind of appeasement talk that Col. MacGregor, who should know better—when he was in government, he was the one who was advising Trump to pull all troops out of Germany,” Griffin said. “That projection of weakness is what made Putin think he could move into a sovereign country like Ukraine.”

Jennifer Griffin’s reporting on Ukraine has been excellent. Not surprising. She’s a true professional journalist.

She was way out of line a couple of time last night. She's a reporter, not an analyst. I was stunned at her lack of professionalism.

True, she’s a reporter, not an analyst, but she was appearing on an opinion program, not a news broadcast.

She's not wrong, is she?

I love how concerned the left suddenly is with national sovereignty.

Just not the USA's LOL

Fox seems to have military analysts who's knowledge of military strategy increased dramatically the day they were released from active duty. Ex-grunts, weekend warriors and a smattering of Colonels. Field level people that were trained to shut up and shoot.

Aww, what's the matter, don't like hearing the truth?

Funny how so many Republicans are realizing they backed the wrong side.

It's funny. Butters gets all upset whenever anyone questions any of her "experts" on the facts (like when Fauci gets it wrong) but is ok whenever anyone fact checks any Fox News guest who had any dealings with Trump.

I hope that people realize that the "expert" on Gowdy's show was only giving his political OPINION and not making statements of fact, while Griffin was actually reporting on CURRENT facts sans opinion of any type.

That distinction seems to be lost on Butters, but I'm hoping (without much hope at that) most of the board will see and understand the difference.
