Fox hosts attack network's own reporting confirming Trump's troop insults
After Fox News confirmed key parts of a bombshell exposé in which advisers close to President Donald Trump revealed to The Atlantic that he had called U.S. military heroes killed in combat "losers" and "suckers," hosts Lou Dobbs and Laura Ingraham on Tuesday attacked the reporting of their own corporation.
Dobbs, of Fox Business, and Ingraham, of Fox News, assailed the "phony" report, with Dobbs calling it a "coordinated attack," "media hit job" and "smear," and both falsely claiming that it had been "debunked," even though Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin — citing two anonymous former senior administration officials — also independently confirmed a number of the story's pillars.
Trump later called for Fox News to fire Griffin, tweeting out a Breitbart article indicating that she had not confirmed the "most salacious" part of The Atlantic report.
"All refuted by many witnesses. Jennifer Griffin should be fired for this kind of reporting. Never even called us for comment. @FoxNews is gone!" the president wrote.
