Fox News contributor Ralph Peters quits ‘propaganda machine’ in email to colleagues
The Washington Times ^ | March 20, 2018 | Jessica Chasmar

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.

Ralph Peters is a horrible man. I’m so glad he’s gone. Too bad Shepherd Smith didn’t go with him.

Good news. A while back he had me fooled, then he revealed himself as a Hillary supporter.

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.

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.

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?

He’s a jackass who has said he proudly voted for Hillary Clinton..can’t stand that lip smacking a-hole..you’d need a translator to understand a word he’s saying

____

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.

Never understood why everyone thought this guy was so awesome.

This is not exactly rock star material.

Military

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

Peters’ first assignment was in Germany. After returning from Germany, he attended Officer Candidate School and received a commission in 1980.[5][6] Subsequently, he served with 1st Battalion, 46th Infantry Regiment, then part of the 1st Armored Division.[7]

Peters spent ten years in Germany working in military intelligence. He later became a Foreign Area Officer, specializing in the Soviet Union. He attended the Command and General Staff College. His last assignment was to the Office of the Deputy Chief of Staff for Intelligence. He retired in 1998 as a lieutenant colonel.
