Fox News contradicts its own reporting on Trump comments

A controversial report in The Atlantic that said President Donald Trump disparaged US military members who died in service later had key details confirmed by other news outlets, including Fox News. Hours after network correspondent Jennifer Griffin confirmed portions of the story, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld contradicted her reporting by calling the news "a hoax."

    1. @John D = Clearly triggered Trumpanzee stooge

      *also too stupid to understand that they can be obedient to someone they have never met personally, especially considering theyre a public figure who makes their views and desires openly known. Durrrrrr

    2. @Michael Salter
      So when trump wins in a landslide because blm is burning down cities and nobody trusts the media anymore are you going to go full conspiracy theory?

    1. @T L
      I hate to break it to you Karen but the President didn’t start the pandemic. He closed the borders and was called racist and xenophobic while Pelosi etal paraded around China Town giving hugs.
      The deaths that occurred did so in places such as NY where serial killer Cuomo put patients in nursing homes.
      Why dont you look up the actual statistics of covid related deaths instead of hyper inflated fear porn. Never mind, be a good sheep, put on your muzzle, get on your knee and take your injection. Be sure to get on the democrat bus to the ‘safety’ camps.
      Hillary lost, get over it.

    2. @0 Thanks for proving me right with the typical obnoxious and ignorant reply. You need to stop insulting people and assuming you know where they are coming from when you haven’t got a clue. It makes you look stupid.

  1. Let’s be honest, deep down, we all know that he said it.

    We all remember what Trump said about John McCain and our PoWs. It’s all on video.  But I’m sure that won’t stop Trump from denying that he ever said that either.

    So riddle me this, how is it that every other world leader made it to the cemetery for the WW1 memorial service in France, but Trump couldn’t!? Hmmm.😞

    So Trump says the entire thing is a hoax,  just like his hush money payment to Stormy Daniels was a hoax. Nope…no, bad example.

    So just like his letter of intent to build a tower in Moscow was a hoax. Nope…no, bad example.

    So just like Don Jr’s Trump Tower meeting with Russian officials was a hoax. Nope….no, bad example.

    So just like the coronavirus was a hoax. Nope, another bad example.

    Good grief, I give up. Smh 😔  Of course Trump said it!!

    1. @Dusty Davis now that you got that off your chest are you going to grow up now.you seem awfully interested in the Obama sex life.jealous maybe?

Yet, with Trump’s approval, they directed actions and criticized operations without any oversight. They wasted valuable staff time in hundreds of pages of communications and meetings, emails show.

      No Trump in America has ever served in the military; this spans 5 generations, and every branch of the family tree. In fact, the reason his grandfather immigrated to America was to avoid military service

    2. @Cookie Monster I believe this gal talked to people….military people that heard it..he said it to them ….shes respected by a lot of reporters as not spreading rumors….but Im sure this makes no difference to you….the way he talked about John McCain…. treatment towards Gold Star families…it is easy to believe he said it all…his problem is he won’t stop talking….everything he doesn’t like is either fake or a hoax….blames other people….a lot can be fact checked….most of what he says is on video…he changes his stories everyday…you can laugh all you want….label me a nasty woman …I dont care….Trump is mean spirited … can not talk about much of anything without calling names….so immature…has called his supporters uneducated… In other words stupid ….and yet you hang on everything he says and does…..if he stood on the WH steps and yes I have done all of this and more….you wouldn’t believe him…

    3. @Dozo G ratting out your fellow Airmen after being capture is Treason. I wonder why the Vietcong air defenses started shooting down American airmen at an alarming rate after the song bird sang. You do your research!

    1. GlassOpper11b
      It’s like saying:
      You are guilty! “What do you mean?
      Exactly what I said.
      🤷‍♂️
      Your dialogue went down hill quick and wasteful time 🤓

    1. @David Albers A day later still no video, you should try that deep fake technology then you can make Trump say all your lies for you.

    2. @Bobby McKnight God help you if you are this forgone. Buried in conspiracy theories living in an impregnable bubble. Where facts and observations never get in. I feel badly you need someone like Chump to make you feel whole again. One of the worst examples of a human being. And the only thing keeping him from being litigated for numerous crimes is the presidency. That isn’t the president anyone needs. I prefer to live in reality and vote in someone with sanity and intelligence.

    3. @Bobby McKnight Typical right winger. All bluster and no substance. No position to argue from so you take the low road and look to dish out insults. We should be debating policy but that is too difficult for the cult of Trump. So all we are left with is Biden’s dementia and Hillary’s emails. Pathetic.

    1. @martin deano Im not a democrat, Im not even american. But it’s interesting to watch brainless idiot zombies like you supporting a psychopathic toddler who is the most anti american president ever.

    2. @TomG Gabin + Facts don’t care about your leftist opinions. Everyt factual claim in my posts, has been confirmed with at least 2 other independent, reliable, & generally accepted, sources . . . unlike the laughable Fake News nonsense the
      Atlantic published this week about your Presdent bad mouthing the troops in
      France almost 2 years ago. You could ignore the fact that no one considered the
      Atlantic a credible journalistic outlet, even before this latest debacle blew up in it’s face, & that the “author” of the fictional, politically motivated fairy tale Mr Goldberg
      is a noted left-wing political activist with a long list of retracted stories, 2 of which were earlier this year alone. The fact that the single largest individual financial donor to the Biden campaign, Steve Jobs’ widow, also owns the Atlantic, would prevent any legitimate media outlet from carrying such an unsourced series of rumors, as a legit news story, even when 15 named, eye witness have refuted the
      claims in the unsubstantiated “reports.” All available public documentation refutes all the factual claims in the “story,” definitively proving the President’s trip to a Northern French US Miltitary Cemetery was called off due to bad weather, not some invented statements lifted directly from the script of The God Father II, where Sonny says of US troops, ” … they are SAPS, & SUCKERS.” which Goldberg must be aware of, since he is publicly on record as being a HUGE fan of the God Father trilogy. That the fake news industrial complex would push another blatant hoax of a story based on no credible information whatsoever should shock no one.

    1. @Betty Favreau yep Andy Pooper and Donnie Lemondrop are the epitome of truth. that is if you omit Freedo….

    2. @Smada Mot At least he hadthe backbone to sign up, make his daddy and country proud when ol’bonespurs ran like all hell the other way like a coward, which is ok, but somehow cheats his way into office. Rich boy, entitlement, backroom money deals to save his life, yet with CoVid and China wants to stick us i front of him to protect him, like a baby hiding behind momma’s apron strings, yet at taxpayers expense. Too many ‘off’ things with him, and hardly in balance with anything.

    1. Ennis Whalen
      1 anonymous source verses 10 witnesses…think about that for a second
      Bolton even came out and said it was trash lol

    2. @Amber Taillon you must be a fly on Muellers wall. I watched the hearing and it’s not how I interpreted what he said.

    3. @Frances C I don’t believe every word anyone says as “gospel” — I just believe in due process and facts.

    1. @Herbert Twiine “Kill people, destroy property, and livelihoods.”

      Oh you mean like the multiple White supremacists who mowed down protestors with their trucks? Or the one that walked down the street shooting people? Or do you mean on a grand scale like Jared Kushner who made sure that help wasn’t mobilized to blue states during the height of the coronavirus pandemic, causing countless people to die? Just wondering.

    2. @Ty Dolla Trump supporters will throw their own kind under the bus. John McCain was their hero, but when Trump disparaged him, all of his supporters fell in line. That happens to every single person in their cult. If Trump showed up to one of their houses and shot and killed every single one of their family members, they would still support him. It’s a cult.

    3. @James Beryllis just look at what BLM is doing to people , they killed the young and the old, destroyed property, descended terror on streets…

    4. @Herbert Twiine BLM…killed the young and the old? You want to back up your claim of mass murders committed by BLM with some evidence? In contrast, just turn on the news to see multiple instances of violence and murder committed by the Trump White Supremacists you glorify. You seem to have completely ignored me when I pointed that out. How convenient.

  3. Trump: Cancel culture is a disgrace and should stop.
    Also Trump: This reporter who criticized me should be fired from her job.

    1. Yah its a cia conspiracy. Sorry but im with the fucken cia on this one lol hello trump I know your obsessively watching your reviews smarten up

  4. Sometimes I wanna sit and give Fox a chance but everytime I try they come out with stuff like this…
    It’s so cringey watching what is basically propoganda.

  5. The verminous Evangelical filth in America should be begging the world for forgiveness!
    THEY unleashed this menace on the world!
