Jennifer Griffin has signed a new multi-year deal to serve as Fox News Channel’s chief national security correspondent.
Among the many times in which punditry can go very wrong, few rank as high as wartime. And nothing demonstrates that better than some corners of Fox News right now. Tucker Carlson has spent years suggesting maybe Vladimir Putin isn’t a bad guy. Several of its hosts wagered that the threat of a Russian invasion of Ukraine was manufactured to distract from the Biden administration’s domestic political issues — right before Russia actually invaded. A number of its pundits and hosts have seen their statements on issues like sanctions contradicted by the network’s actual reporting on the situation. Fox’s Jennifer Griffin seems to have almost completely lost patience with all of it.
The network’s national security correspondent has pushed back on comments made by Sean Hannity, Steve Doocy, Harris Faulkner and other hosts.
In its statement on Wallace’s exit from the network, Fox News said, “the legacy of Fox News Sunday will continue with our star journalists, many of whom will rotate in the position until a permanent host is named.” Among those mentioned among the network’s news-side anchors who will rotate in the Fox News Sunday moderator role are Bret Baier, John Roberts, Harris Faulkner, Shannon Bream, Martha MacCallum, Neil Cavuto, Bill Hemmer, Jennifer Griffin and Dana Perino.
Jennifer Griffin’s reporting has led many conservatives to doubt the president, and she’s not backing off.
