The commentator who called Barack Obama a pussy is quitting Fox News. He said that the network is tossing Trump's salad. |
Shepard Smith and Chris Wallace are concerned that their network is going off the rails. They were attacked by not only the agitators on that network but the loyalists who watch them.
Smith is engaged in a feud with two of the hosts. And one has decided to talk about the family business.
Don't give this guy a pass. He is still a disgusting racist who had the audacity to call a sitting president a dirty slur.
Retired military commentator Ralph Peters called then President Barack Obama a pussy on Fox Business a few years ago.
He was pulled off the television and was iced for 20 days.
Now fast forward two years and a few months later, Peters has decided to call out his employer. He said that Fox News and it's relentless attacks on law enforcement is a disgrace. .
Peters said that the Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama's scandals are bogus.
Ralph Peters singled out Sean "Softball" Hannity in his resignation letter. |
On March 1st, I informed Fox that I would not renew my contract. The purpose of this message to all of you is twofold:
First, I must thank each of you for the cooperation and support you've shown me over the years. Those working off-camera, the bookers and producers, don't often get the recognition you deserve, but I want you to know that I have always appreciated the challenges you face and the skill with which you master them.
Second, I feel compelled to explain why I have to leave. 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.
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.
As a Russia analyst for many years, it also has appalled me that hosts who made their reputations as super-patriots and who, justifiably, savaged President Obama for his duplicitous folly with Putin, now advance Putin's agenda by making light of Russian penetration of our elections and the Trump campaign. Despite increasingly pathetic denials, it turns out that the "nothing-burger" has been covered with Russian dressing all along. And by the way: As an intelligence professional, I can tell you that the Steele dossier rings true--that's how the Russians do things.. The result is that we have an American president who is terrified of his counterpart in Moscow.
I do not apply the above criticisms in full to Fox Business, where numerous hosts retain a respect for facts and maintain a measure of integrity (nor is every host at Fox News a propaganda mouthpiece--some have shown courage). I have enjoyed and valued my relationship with Fox Business, and I will miss a number of hosts and staff members. You're the grown-ups.
Also, I deeply respect the hard-news reporters at Fox, who continue to do their best as talented professionals in a poisoned environment. These are some of the best men and women in the business..
So, to all of you: Thanks, and, as our president's favorite world leader would say, "Das vidanya."
Wow.Peters was pretty upfront about the network's primetime hosts shilling for Trump.
Shepard Smith is fed up with the opinion hosts ruining Fox News. |
You got that kookspiracist who is the most annoying conservative agitator in the junk food media. Sean Hannity is the official softball of the Donald J. Trump legacy. He is doing lip service for Trump.
You also have that cuntservative Laura Ingraham closing out the night with her rhetoric. Her bullshit spreads like manure.
Trump pushes his talking points on Fox & Friends.
Todd Starnes is a white extremist and he is promoted on radio.
Fox News is still the most watched cable news channel. How long will that last?
