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.

Not sure staffies get PTSD. Paper cuts but not PTSD.
I agree.
Never liked that guy anyway, seemed weaselly. However, I have quit watching Fox too much because I just get angry with the left and the country in general, so I might agree in part with what he’s saying. They do seem to egg things on.
Somebody has some dirt on him!
I always looked at that guy with amusement and thought “Geez, I hope he doesn’t have any kids.”
Peters has had a hard-on since he didn’t make 0-6. He was a desk jockey, never seeing a day of combat. He despised Trump from day one because Peter’s entire act Is hating Putin, Peters was and is a NeverTrumper who said he was voting for Hillary Clinton. A job awaits this “I hate Putin, Trump is an idiot” a$$hole on CNN.
I want to know why he never made Full Bird.
I saw Lou Dobbs run him off his show. He thought he’d go on Dobbs’ show and run his mouth about the president. WRONG!
In December 2015, he got suspended for shooting his mouth off about Zero.
I wonder if the NSA Eye of Scrutiny was cast upon him then, and "things" were "discovered", followed by the arrival of a manila envelope, with explicit instructions, including support and a public vote for Felonia von Pantsuit...
He is a Lieutenant Colonel. That is one Grade lower than Colonel.
Was that tonight?
Ralph “Peters” out, and will become another low-rating nobody talking head on another network that is more agreeable to his way of thinking or non-thinking.
Peters will shill foe a sandwich and some warm soup.

Peters is a anti-Trump, pro-Hitlery idiot that wants war with Russia like Hitlery does.
““Four decades ago, I took an oath as a newly commissioned officer. I swore to ‘support and defend the Constitution,’ “
Which is why jackass voted for Hitlery, a corrupt politician that sold out America. Yeah, Peters is such a patriot.
Exactly!! Never liked that worm anyway..........
Good! He is a wack job anti-Trumper. Always has been. He just doesn’t get it. I always thought he was about a bubble and a half off plumb.
I’ve been hearing about this so-called “massive pile” of sealed indictments for awhile - until someone actually confirms they are real (NOT details, just existence) I really don’t want to hear about them any more.
Hillary supporter and swamp creature. If he thinks CNN and PMSNBC is professional in their reporting that speaks volumes to how far he drives in the left lane.
