So now it was generals he called losers and babies.

She sure didn't say that initially.

I am sure a lot of the enlisted think generals are losers and babies.

Jennifer Griffin is a fricking count.

This is news now.

I’m reporting that I heard someone say that they heard someone else allegedly say something relating to vaguely insulting a group

So Griffin's "confirmation" of The Atlantic's story isn't a confirmation at all. Her sources actually say they didn't hear him say it but when he's mad he uses the word "loser" and he's run down shithead generals (which we already knew he did)?


Greenwald castigated Fox’s “confirmation” in the past few days. All of the “confirmations” have been similar.

That bitch is still employed because she had cancer and they felt sorry for her. She is pathetic. Worse than many local reporters in small markets.

MSM has kinda 'redefined' the accepted meaning of 'confirmed'. Good article on Zero Hedge -

It’s one thing for a news outlet to make a mistake in reporting by, for instance, mis-reporting the date of an email and thus getting the story completely wrong. But how is it possible that multiple other outlets could “confirm” the same false report?

It’s possible because news outlets have completely distorted the term “confirmation” beyond all recognition. Indeed, they now use it to mean the exact opposite of what it actually means, thereby draping themselves in journalistic glory they have not earned and, worse, deceiving the public into believing that an unproven assertion has, in fact, been proven. With this disinformation method, they are doing the exact opposite of what journalism, at its core, is supposed to do: separate fact from speculation.

Well, they lied about the gulf of Tonkin just like they lied about weapons of mass destruction. The rest of the wars the USA joined were started on false flags going back to the Spanish American war. They moved ships on the west side of Hawaii when they got word the japs were going to attack to entice them, they loaded up the Lusitania with weapons to entice the Germans to attack, we blew up the Maine, and like every country in the world told us we were about to be attacked by air during 9/11, so we sent our jets on training missions. Hell, they got to Payne Stewart’s plane that drifted off course within minutes.

I won't speak for out military women and men and their thoughts on their generals.

Bur this is NOT what was initially reported. What a bunch of hacks.

The media has taken up the "plausible" view for reporting. If it could be viewed as plausible that a person said or acted a certain way, then it's OK to run it as a story. It's totally bullshite but if they can imagine a person saying or doing something, then they run with it.

The Pentagon is huge, Trump should announce a downsize. These full of medal chested politicians need to GTFO.

Obama purged the Pentagon so should Trump and downsize it while he is at it. I wonder how much staff the JCS each have? And then an office to tell another office that, that office, can tell another office they are having a meeting and $pending a thousand dollars for hammers and a left handed monkey wrench, and new paint for the mail buoy.

If people had a clue what they spend on recruiting. The recruiters turn in their civilian govt cars when they need the oil checked and get brand news ones. Trump saved them a crap ton on recruiting money with his flyover the progs had a hissy fit over.

How much do the AD gophers make to run to get food in the middle of the small city AKA the Pentagon? It is so convoluted and full of call me Lt Col Vindman's; no one knows wtf they are doing but appeasing lobbyists and lobbying.

It sounds like many top brass JCS need to move on and be stationed in Syria or the Antarctica. Trump has had contentious battles with them, they fricked him over with the walk to the Church-fire all of them, no one will suffer until their replacements arrive but their egos will.

Also change the regulations that no retired JCS can go lobby, be in a political think-tank, or be CEO's of missile makers and military hardware.

You expect anything different from Arthel Neville and Jennifer Griffin?

Were they conservatives when Rupert was running the show and when the boys were put in charge they flip flopped or they become whatever their employer wants them to be so they are like puppets.

Either way they are not worthy of being on the air.

Well given the fact that John Bolton, who hates Trump, debunked this and said it wasn’t true. If anybody had an axe to grind, it’s him and he didn’t do it on this.

So she’s using Mnuchin to confirm her story. Buts he’s denied it ever happened. But he’s her confirmation. By the way her claim isn’t (now) that Trump called the WWII soldiers bad names, it’s he called current generals those things. Except Mnuchin, who everyone agrees was there, denies it categorically. But that’s confirmation in Griffin-world.

I know nothing about the military, so this is an honest question. Would the average serviceman/woman care that someone called a General a loser? If someone called my boss a loser dope baby I might even by them a drink.
