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.

He’s the kind that would get your son killed to make rank, and he’s even failed at that.

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.

I am so happy he's gone.

Last election he was a member of the knee pads for Hillary club.

I stopped reading when I saw that he “feels” that Fox News is “assaulting our constitutional order”.

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. <>
