Really?  What's erronious about it?

btw, MANY former Fox employee's have said the same thing as the "military analyst" said so it's not a limited opinion.

Sane, rational, and logical American Citizens - who never have guzzled the conservative koolaid - have recognized since it's inception that fox news is an equivalent of "Pravda" crafted to appeal to RWNJs - because fox news consistently, shamelessly, and blatantly slants the news and tells lies that heavily biased and bigoted conservative yokels uncritically swallow hook line and sinker.

And so, when someone vociferously leaps to defend fox news - the majority of sane, rational and logical American Citizens who never did believe any of the fox news lies - see that defense as self-outing...

Oh, the bizarro world of far-right extremists......  Let's take a look, shall we?

Col. Peters was outed as a "Never Trumper" in November of 2016.  So?  Why would that be an issue?  Does Fox only want those commentators that kiss trumps backside?  Of course that's what they want and expect and that's indicated by Jims comment.  "outed".  LOL!   When a person allows total HATE for another person they seem to lose the ability to be objective.  So here the far-right extremist seems to claim those who didn't support trump have "total HATE" for him.  That's laughable.  To a far-right extremist, if someone doesn't support another for President, the only conclusion is they have "total HATE" for them.  Quite the reveal of one's intellect.

This is sort of "old news" but have at it!  So are bombastic accusations.

You guys are just TOO FUNNY!!  Yeah, like making bizarre conclusions.

FOX NEWS!  Is a fraud.....they aren't "news"; they're entertainment.  And what a joke they are.

Of course Fox is a propaganda machine for the extreme right wing, what's news is it took Peters a decade to figure that out.

Numerous studies prove the more you watch Fox, the less you know about what's really going on in the World. The loss of actual understanding all tilts toward the lunitic fringe on the right end of the political spectrum. Most Foxbots believe: Saddam was part of 9/11, Iran is building nukes, Hillary committed some crime, the FBI is a totally corrupt left-wing foil for the Communist Party, Illegal immigrants are the reason you havne't gotten a raise since 1981, Der Trumper is a successful businessman because of his great deal making and the Russian interference in the election didn't change the outcome.

A Fox News analyst quit in a scathing letter that accused the network of degenerating into “a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration.”

Retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters, a strategic analyst for Fox News, said he was leaving the network and laid out his reasoning in a fiery letter to colleagues, obtained by BuzzFeed News.

“Today, I feel that Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers,” Peters wrote. “Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed.”

He went on:

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 Robert Mueller — 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.

Peters continued in that vein before signing off: “As our president’s favorite world leader would say, ‘Das vidanya’” — Russian for “goodbye.”
