Fox News analyst quits ‘propaganda machine’

A longtime analyst for Fox News is leaving the network, saying he could not “in good conscience” remain with an organization that “is now wittingly harming our system of government for profit.” In a searing farewell note sent to colleagues Tuesday, Ralph Peters, a retired lieutenant colonel in the U.S. Army, castigated the network for its coverage of President Donald Trump and the rhetoric of its prime-time hosts. “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,” Peters wrote.
