Fox News correspondent keeps pushing back on guests' misleading claims about Russia's invasion
The reason why this is news is that it is so rare to have Fox News correspondent push back pro-Russia talking points.

Fox News correspondent Jennifer Griffin accused a former Pentagon official of "appeasement" after he defended Russia's invasion of Ukraine on the network. It's the latest in a series of increasingly exasperated attempt by the respected security correspondent to fact-check guests pushing misleading or baseless claims on the network.
The network is known for inviting guests who promote controversial views or misinformation, often receiving little pushback.
Guests and top-rated hosts including Tucker Carlson defended Putin in the buildup to the invasion, in line with a years-long sympathy for Vladimir Putin's Russia in the US populist right. (Carlson later changed his position.)
In an appearance on the network Sunday, Army Col. Douglas Macgregor, who was a Pentagon official in the Trump administration, said the West should stay out of the Ukraine conflict. He argued that it was wrong for the US to support Ukrainian resistance and that Putin should be allowed to seize some of the country.
