Fox Is So Rattled By Trump Military Story That It Confirms, Debunks, Then Reconfirms It

Fox News was so flustered by The Atlantic article on insults by President Donald Trump against military service members that it initially didn’t know where to land on the report.
It attacked the article, then eventually confirmed it. Then it bashed it again soon afterward — before reconfirming it.
Fox News’ national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin posted a long Twitter thread Friday afternoon confirming key points of the bombshell article that cited multiple reports of Trump denigrating fallen service members by saying they were “losers” and “suckers,” and details of the president’s refusal to visit the graves of America’s war dead at Aisne-Marne Cemetery while he was in France in 2018.
Griffin also tweeted that she discovered Trump once said it was “not a good look” to include “wounded guys” in a Fourth of July military parade.
After the media widely reported on Griffin’s tweets, declaring that Fox News had confirmed the report, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld on “The Five” bashed the “debunked” and “outrageous” report as a “scam” and a “hoax.” No one on the program cited the findings of their own Pentagon reporter.
But wait. Scratch that. An hour after that, Griffin appeared on Fox News to discuss the confirmation she had tweeted about.
Fox News hosts for much of the day also slammed The Atlantic’s use of anonymous sources, then used its own anonymous sources to debunk — and then confirm — the article.

I spent some time in Jennifer Griffin’s twitter feed yesterday.
I trust her as much as I do Adam Schiff.

John Roberts was there with another fox reporter and they both debunked it.
Bolton debunks it
The emails the WH released and the files on why Trump couldn't travel are literally in writing it was in regards bad weather.
Furthermore waiting 2 years to report on this is par for the course. Sitting on something like this and then have a coordinated media effort with Biden campaign running an ad on it within a day

Fox's own John Roberts has debunked this. He was actually traveling with Trump at the time.

Jennifer Griffin is spreading gossip. Jennifer Griffin was not there, how does she know her sources are telling her the truth?

None. News networks and the people driving their ratings are a big part of what's wrong with america in general. CNN Msnbc are both hot garbage too

Wow, imagine being a man of such courage it would take 2 years to build up the conviction to have your story be released anonymously.
Rape allegations
WW3 w/ NK
Russian Collusion
Ukraine QPQ
Russian Bounties
and now this? The people that fall for this should be stripped of their citizenship and sent to China. Just too dumb to be trusted to vote.

This is so on brand for Trump and based on things he’s said n public before, very easy to believe he said these things. But he is Dear Leader. Perfect, beautiful, and fallible.

Nutshell- we didn’t do our homework either, just reportEd shite.. by the time we cancelled everything It means we never said a word.

So the same guy who was widely lambasted by the dems and the media for “wasting money” on a parade to honor veterans is now anti veteran? The guy who also made one of his first priorities when taking office to fix the VA system? What a load of crap. These people are total clowns, and Biden’s poll numbers must be truly awful.

I’m withholding judgement until Dan Rather chimes in.

Trump could say the sky is blue and the leftist media would spend 24 hours telling us how the sky is in fact NOT blue, it is just the atmosphere reflecting the blue light, in reality the atmosphere doesn’t have a color.

IDK if it's true or not and don't really care. It doesn't change my opinion of trump all that much either way.
I do find it hilarious how much it gets everyone here worked up and into either crazy conspiracies or just pure hatred.
