Fox News contributor quits, slams network as 'propaganda machine' working for Trump administration
new york daily news ^ | 3/20/2018 | ELIZABETH ELIZALDE

A longtime Fox News contributor quit the network Tuesday and blasted it as a "propaganda machine" for the Trump administration.

Ralph Peters, a retired Army lieutenant colonel and strategic analyst, wrote an email to colleagues announcing his departure Tuesday.

“Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association,” Peters wrote in the email obtained by BuzzFeed News. “Now I am ashamed.”

“Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration,” he continued. Peters also said he was “appalled” at the hosts attacking former President Barack Obama for his handling of Russian President Vladimir Putin and for advancing Putin’s agenda.

In 2015, the network suspended Peters for calling Obama “a total p---y” while talking about terrorism on air.

In the email, he also called out the network for defending President Trump in light of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Peters, it seems, is more moron than anyone suspected.

Peters is typical of today’s military officers. They have bought in to social engineering of the military. They are liberals in most everything. He and most other military officers are not second amendment supporters in any way.

They in fact endorse no gun zones on military bases. They are indeed pussies.

Funny how the article omits the minor detail that he was an anti-Trumper who voted for Hillary. That changes the complexion of the whole thing.

He was probably getting serially trounced in off-set arguments with some of the other hosts and left in a huff.

Does the NY Daily News always repeat the gist of a story three times? They must pay people by the word.

Ralph “Squeaky” Peters was despicable and a Trump hater, so he’ll probably get on with CNN or MSNBC.

Peters came on like a house on fire and degenerated into an anti Trumper, Graham-McCain RINO type. Good riddance, he will probably join forces with MSNBC or CNN.

Peters was just not very well informed, Fox is lucky to be rid of him.

Another POS posing as an Officer in the Military until he became his own sort of propagandist.

This comes from the ny daily news, a low-IQ leftist rag that doesn’t know how to use words of more than 2 syllables.

Colonel Ralph was wound up tighter than a church clock. I think that he just hates the world he is in.

You were right, Obama was a pu$$y president.

On the other hand, Colonel Peters, you are wrong about President Trump and his administration. Enjoy your retirement and get a new set of dentures.

Thank you for your service Col. Peters.

I remember when I watched Fox years ago that there were always lefties like Juan Williams on their news shows that conservatives couldn’t stand but had to put up with in order to hear the only network that had conservative voices.

None of the other major networks had conservative voices, yet lefties would complain because Fox had conservative voices.

Fox was ‘Fair and Balanced’.
