A retired Army lieutenant colonel and Fox News contributor quit the network Tuesday, accusing it of fueling paranoia among its audience and serving as a “propaganda machine” for the Trump administration.
Retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a “strategic analyst” at Fox News, made the comments in an email to colleagues announcing that he had not renewed his contract, obtained by BuzzFeed.
“Four decades ago, I took an oath as a newly commissioned officer. I swore to ‘support and defend the Constitution,’ and that oath did not expire when I took off my uniform. Today, I feel that Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers. Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed,” Mr. Peters reportedly wrote.

Hahahaha!
Ralph Peters is a horrible man. I’m so glad he’s gone. Too bad Shepherd Smith didn’t go with him.
Dementia is a terrible thing to watch
Good news. A while back he had me fooled, then he revealed himself as a Hillary supporter.
He obviously is suffering from dementia....no other way to read his praise of Mueller
It seems they might have something on him, as these “analyst” types hang out in the same DC circuit. DC’s a very incestuous place, which is why it needs to be burned down every couple of years.
Yep, and generally, the higher one goes in rank, the more left wing they are.
Many officers, particularly field grade and above are effectively Neocons.
Peters has become unhinged over the past few years. Became unwatchable. Adios! Don’t forget your parting gift.

Peters petered out.
Beautiful....
Behavior like this is almost always the result of being compromised. And usually it’s something really really bad.
Nope. Peters carries Democrat water because that is what gets attention and MSM love.
Fox really knew how to pick them/NOT.
Never heard of the guy.
Hey Ralphie,
When you get to CNN or MSNBC, how many of your books do you think you can hawk to THAT brain dead and microscopic audience?

I totally agree.
As a 71 year old guy, Peters always gave me the creeps ....... always looked like he was going to jump out of his skin, always somewhat perturbed.
Good riddance.
GTFO then you whiny, little bitch.
Never understood why everyone thought this guy was so awesome.
This is not exactly rock star material.

Peters enlisted in the U.S. Army in 1976, after attending, but not graduating from, Pennsylvania State University.[4]
