“I tried to think of the most harmless thing. Something I loved from my childhood. Something that could never, ever possibly destroy us.”

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.

Agree!
Not a loss!
Give me General Jack Keane
another Hillary boy...
He was a jerk.
Thank God! I was so TIRED of having to switch away when his sour puss appeared on Fox. Tucker Carlson took it to this empty suit last summer:
Put this asshat on Morning Joe and nobody will see him ...
He’s the kind that would get your son killed to make rank, and he’s even failed at that.
What has caused this turn around—this loss of spine?
_______________________________
An incredible example of jumping the shark.
FNC just got so much better. Peters is not a patriot!
Amen to that...General Keane knows of what he speaks.
“What about that Hillary stooge Tucker has on all the time? “
That’s when I hit “mute”.
.
A Pox on both their houses.
Agreed...
Translation: Ralph Peters can longer pretend what he never was.
I never understood how the opinions of a light colonel were significant enough to sway an audience anyway.
“Ralph Peters? Isn’t that a sodomite with a stomach flu?”
Ralph “fonda” Peters? He must have made LC under Obama.
He has been a dreadful prick for quite awhile.
Good riddance!
And try to buy a real voice somewhere.
Exactly.
On political issues I do not give a sh!t what he “feels”. I want to know what he thinks - or I used to, at any rate. <>
