Lt. Col. Ralph Peters has decided to leave the Fox News Network. Peters makes appearances on Fox News as a contributor to give in opinion and perspective on different topics. Ralph believes Fox News has turned into a propaganda machine for the Trump administration. Lt. Col. Ralph Peters sent an e-mail to his colleagues at Fox News before parting ways with the network. The content of that e-mail managed to make it to the public.
“In my view, Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration. When prime-time hosts who have never served our country in any capacity dismiss facts and empirical reality to launch profoundly dishonest assaults on the FBI, the Justice Department, the courts, the intelligence community (in which I served) and, not least, a model public servant and genuine war hero such as [special counsel Robert S. Mueller III] all the while scaremongering with lurid warnings of ‘deep-state’ machinations I cannot be part of the same organization, even at a remove. To me, Fox News is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit.” – Lt. Col. Ralph Peters
