Jennifer Griffin Once Again Brutally Fact-Checks a Pro-Putin Fox News Segment

The Daily Beast ^ | 27 February 2022 | Justin Baragona

[zeestephen]

The highly respected journalist, who has been with Fox News since 1996, has recently gained notoriety for busting a number of right-wing narratives about the Ukraine crisis while on Fox airwaves, schooling her network colleagues in the process.

[zeestephen]

I happened to channel surf into this segment. A few minutes before Jennifer Griffin made her vehement rebuttal, Retired Colonel Douglas MacGregor forcefully made several important points.

(1) For the last 10 years, Putin has been publicly saying that Russia will never allow Ukraine to join NATO.

(2) Ukraine is not a democracy. Zelensky has imprisoned his top political rival and shut down news organizations that supported his top rival.

(3) Supplying Ukraine with weapons and encouraging Ukraine citizens to fight in the streets is unconscionable because NATO and the USA have promised not to intervene. Ukraine's army and citizens cannot win alone and will be pointlessly slaughtered.

Jennifer Griffin also made this astounding statement...

"Putin is bluffing about going nuclear."

Hey, Jennifer, do not put my life and my standard of living at risk by pretending know what Putin will - or will not - do!

[Prince of Space]

I think all the breast cancer chemo she had destroyed some of her brain cells.

[Its All Over Except ...]

Griffin is an anti-Trump neocon married to a Trump-hating leftist.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Who is she married to?

(2) Ukraine is not a democracy. Zelensky has imprisoned his top political rival and shut down news organizations that supported his top rival

BS. Ukraine is a democracy, that's why its being attacked by Vlad the Invader. Only 3 Ukrainian TV stations were shut down, all were pro-Russian propaganda outlets owned by a pro-Russian oligarch.

Zelensky did not imprison Porosheko, judge, refused the govt request. Poroshenko, an oligarch, is charged with profiteering from coal sales by Russian rebels who were waging war in Ukraine.

Now if you tell the truth about Putin, you are called a “Putin lover” by the left.

I don’t see how she can read pooties mind but she’s factually correct on the first two

On the third I don’t think they will fight for zelensky as armed citizenry in real numbers but that choice is theirs as it should be so far they aren’t and this is relatively limited and involves not a lot of geography with actual combat

It’s very very early for all this hyperventilating that most western media aggregate are pimping

What day four now

41 million folks
Bigger than Texas

So far doesn’t seem pootie wishes to annex

He wants what he said

Contested areas with high Russian ethnic count
And regime change

My hunch is he gets it

Beyond that who knows

Donbas has been trenches for how long now

Eight years or more

[tlozo]

So far doesn’t seem pootie wishes to annex He wants what he said Contested areas with high Russian ethnic count And regime change

Putin's other demand is Ukraine must demilitarize

Explain to me the great difference in Putin annexing Ukraine or Putin installing the puppet government that he chooses while also having Ukraine disarm. What will stop him from future annexations?

Re: "BS. Ukraine is a democracy"

Why is it legal to shut down pro-Russia TV stations and newspapers in a democracy?

Also, Zelensky's top rival - Poroshenko - was briefly imprisoned, and all of his Ukraine assets were seized by a Ukraine court.

Poroshenko was released after agreeing to surrender his passport and to not leave Kiev without court permission.

[MDLION]

Married to Greg Myre. Works for NPR. Worked for New York Times and Associated Press. Member of Council On Foreign Relation (CFR), prominent globalist-elitist organization. They married at Grace Episcopal Church. Post 3 by It’s All Over Except … has Griffin pegged right.

[caww]

Did you see Poroshenko’s video while he was on the street in Ukraine? Oh my gosh he had a moment....sounded about as together as Biden.

[tlozo]

Why is it legal to shut down pro-Russia TV stations and newspapers in a democracy?

In a time of war, hell yes.

Poroshenko - was briefly imprisoned... agreeing to surrender his passport

That crap happens to US citizens charged with crimes, so I guess according to you, the US is not a democracy.

[neverevergiveup]

Explain to me the great difference in Putin annexing Ukraine or Putin installing the puppet government that he chooses while also having Ukraine disarm. What will stop him from future annexations?

This.

[JonPreston]

Jennifer Griffin is a Pentagon propagandist who should be placed back into the Deep State crypt she escaped from.

[NWFree]

She is not a highly respected journalist but instead a wailing shill for fear and replacing fact with fictional emotion based on her goofy interpretation of the look in Putin’s eyes. 🤪

It’s goofball theater and it only works on weak gullible minds or can be easily twisted

Col Douglas Macgregor Has a Slightly Different Take on Russia-Ukraine Conflict

February 27, 2022 | Sundance | 302 Comments

Macgregor Makes Sense!

My spidey senses tell me that Col Douglas Macgregor will not be welcomed back on Fox News after he gave a rather different take on what is happening amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict that does not toe the common media line.  [SEGMENT HERE] Jennifer Griffin was furious.

The first presentation was during a segment with Fox Host Dan Bongino (below).   The second presentation of essentially the same analysis was with Trey Gowdy [SEGMENT HERE].  In both discussions Macgregor’s perspective reconciles the disparity between what the U.S. government, State Dept, and corporate media are saying -vs- what is visible.

Essentially, Macgregor is saying that Russia does not want to engage a civilian population and is making every effort to avoid civilian conflict in those population centers.  In part this is because Putin knows the Western approach is a propaganda war that would be fueled by what it would look like if population carnage took place. However, if Ukraine President Zelenskyy does not acquiesce to terms, Putin could easily crush those centers with artillery and rockets.  

WATCH:

Col Macgregor "the Ukrainians will be defeated"

What Macgregor outlines would explain why these skirmishes always seem ‘off in the distance’.

The western government and media perspective is to make it seem like Volodymyr Zelenski and the rebellious civilian misfits are beating the Russian army because that frames a better story.  However, what Macgregor outlines is Putin not wanting to fuel the United Nations, NATO and State Dept narrative engineering, thus the absence of visible fighting.

The second segment with Trey Gowdy is HERE… and below:

Col Doug MacGregor on Ukraine-Russia.

Fox News Pentagon war seller Jennifer Griffin, aka the female version of Mark Milley, was having fits.

wow — Jennifer Griffin continues her live fact-check of Fox colleagues and guests:

“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."

When I see her pop on my TV, I quickly change the channel.
Same for Hannity, Ingraham, Graham, and a number of other dumb and dumber peeps.....

[Brooklyn Attitude]

So pointing out that Biden’s weakness and incompetence has lead to the invasion of Ukraine is pro Putin? More leftist idiocy.

[The Duke]

"Ukraine is a democracy, that's why its being attacked by Vlad the Invader."

I figure he just wants to control Hunter's oil pipeline and the best agricultural region in Europe, while guaranteeing that NATO won't be installing nukes along the Russian border.

I had no idea he hated "democracy" so much! Seems like something GW Bush or [insert name of any NEOCON RINO] would say.

[Yo-Yo]

MacGregor’s segment amounted to “Ukraine should quit fighting, and succeed everything East of the Dnieper river to Putin.”

It was disgusting, and yes Ukraine is no angel, but that does not justify Putin’s unprovoked aggression.
