Fox host Howard Kurtz spent a lot of time helping to discount the reporting of colleague Jennifer Griffin, who confirmed reports that Donald Trump has called fallen troops “losers” and “suckers,” even as he went on to praise her as “one of the fairest, most conscientious reporters on the planet.”

Summer is unofficially over now and the final stretch of the presidential campaign has begun. In some places in the country, it’s snowing! And so we give you herewith the first Outrageous Fox Quote of the Week poll of the fall season.

Lordy, there are tapes and you can watch with your own eyes and ears Donald Trump calling military leaders “losers,” just as has been reported by The Atlantic and confirmed by Fox’s Jennifer Griffin, and elsewhere – and which Fox and Trump have been doing their best to discredit.

All three Fox & Friends hosts threw colleague Jennifer Griffin under the bus in favor of Donald Trump as they pretended she had never confirmed that he had indeed referred to fallen U.S. troops as “suckers” and “losers.”

White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany made a 2020 campaign stop in the guise of an unofficial briefing on Fox & Friends this morning, where there were no tough questions and none of the hosts pushed back on her many lies.

Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin all but called Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin a liar on the air today as she tripled down on her reporting that Donald Trump has indeed called troops “suckers” and “losers.”

Of all the ways that Fox has undermined Jennifer Griffin’s reporting on how Trump has shockingly smeared U.S. troops as “suckers” and “losers,” the worst may be the network’s cowardly silence after Donald Trump attacked her and called for her to be fired.

Fox News reporter Jennifer Griffin responded to Donald Trump’s Twitter attack on her with more details about Trump’s scorn for American troops. Calling them “suckers” was not a one-off, she said her source told her today, and she later said, “my sources are unimpeachable.”

Pete Buttigieg did a phenomenal job laying some blunt truth on Fox News and its viewers about Trump’s disrespect for U.S. troops. Sadly, the supposedly objective host cast doubt on Fox’s own reporting that confirmed that behavior. UPDATED.

Now that Fox News’ National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin has confirmed Donald Trump’s shocking contempt for U.S. troops, the real question is, what will Fox do with those facts? So far, it's discouraging.
