Former Fox tabloid commentator rips tabloid to pieces

[someoneyouknow]

"For years, I was glad to be associated with Fox. It was a legitimate conservative and libertarian outlet, and a necessary one," he said Wednesday. "But with the rise of Donald Trump, Fox did become a destructive propaganda machine, and I don't do propaganda for anyone."

Thus spoke Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters who left the tabloid several months ago when it became clear to him the Fox tabloid had dropped any pretext of being a news organization. He spoke bluntly to Anderson Cooper.

Cooper: Do those hosts "believe the stuff they are saying" about the FBI and Justice Department?

Peters: "I suspect Sean Hannity really believes it," Peters said. "The others are smarter. They know what they're doing. It's bewildering to me. I mean, I wanted to just cry out and say, 'How can you do this?' How can you lie to our country? How can you knowingly attack our Constitution, the bedrock of our system of government, the bedrock of our country?"

Peters went on to say Robert Mueller's investigation of the con artist's collusion with Russia during the campaign is spot on. "Without exaggeration, the Mueller investigation is the most important of my lifetime, and I am 66 years old. I lived through Watergate." He also believes the con artist is afraid of Putin and that Putin has a grip on the con artist.

Needless to say, the Fox tabloid could only say they were proud of their hosts and propaganda programming.

Some more tidbits:

"When I first learned of the Steele dossier, it just rang true to me, because that’s how the Russians do things. And before he became a candidate or president, Donald Trump was the perfect target for Russian intelligence," Peters said on CNN, referring to a dossier of salacious allegations about the president's ties to Russia.

"Here is someone who has no self-control, a sense of sexual entitlement and intermittent financial crisis," he continued. "I mean, that’s made-to-order for seduction by Russian intelligence."

"I hope I am wrong. But when you look at Trump's behavior patterns, his unwillingness ever to criticize Vladimir Putin, his slow-rolling sanctions, his unwillingness to create problems with Russia, even though as he attacks NATO, disrupts the relations with the EU, how can you not draw the conclusions that Donald Trump, the president of the United States, is frightened of Vladimir Putin and his grip," Peters said.
