Retired Lt. Col. Ralph Peters quits Fox News, calls it Propaganda Machine

[Poolside Knight]

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.

This is the same guy who called Obama a "total pussy" less than 3 years ago.

That's how bad trump is.

Yawn. This is hit "look at me" moment and he took it.

So his entire beef is with Hannity. Fine. A lot of people at Fox News have issue with him too; including the stars of their news programming, Shep Smith and Bret Baier.

Peters could have easily just asked to be a contributor on those programs. Instead he went on a self righteous rant to make the news all because he doesn't like Hannity (funny, Peters had no issue going on Hannity every night during the Obama years) and tried to lump all of Fox News in with Hannity.

And yes, Hannity is 100% in the tank for Trump. This is the worst kept secret in the world. Just like most every media figure and MSNBC opinion commentator was in the tank for Obama for 8 years.

lmao I love how the standard response on here is either

A) A shit ton of exclamation points and all caps

B) Yawns

This is no joke 100% of the posts whenever bad news comes out about trump. You could literally replace FNB and 85 and others with a bot that posts these two things anytime trump rapes, gets paid off, kills someone and we post about it on here. Scary how brainwashed they are.

 

[Bob the Citronaut]

This coming from the guy that is faux raging over recycled information. Trump cheats on his wives. SCANDAL SCANDAL SCANDAL!!!! Fox News is conservative and Hannity is a conspiracy theorist. SCANDAL SCANDAL SCANDAL!!!!

Yes, but it's not all concentrated in one (1), single outlet. When MSNBC or CNN finally goes too far, another Progressive outlet calls them out.

I've said this for years ... Conservatives needs a 2nd, major, cable network outlet. Until then, Fox News goes unchecked by their peers.

 

[chemmie]

...and our resident Fox News Fanboys turn on another one of their own instead of admitting they possibly could be part of the problem, and completely brainwashed.

Who turned on him? You libs and never trumpers keep ignoring what conservatives actually say on here and just argue with the evil conservative Boogeyman you've created in your heads. Fox is conservative and Hannity, Ingram and Tucker are all a little nutty. Not sure there is anything he said that isn't true but it is over the top. The same can be said for all news outlets anymore. They all have agendas and Trump being president has taken off the blind fold. If you believe Fox is the only biased network then you actually are brainwashed.

FORMER CIA DIRECTOR SAYS TRUMP IS AFRAID OF PUTIN AND THAT RUSSIA MIGHT HAVE LEVERAGE OVER PRESIDENT

Bring on the Yawns!

The former director of the CIA said Wednesday he thinks Russian President Vladimir Putin might have some kind of leverage over President Donald Trump that leaves the U.S. leader scared when the two interact.

Former CIA Director John Brennan's statement came just after Trump reportedly congratulated Putin in a phone call on his election win—in what is largely considered a sham election—despite a note from his national security advisers that read, in all caps, "DO NOT CONGRATULATE."

"I think he is afraid of the president of Russia," Brennan said "One could speculate as to why. The Russians may have something on him personally that they could always roll out and make his life more difficult. Clearly, I think it’s important for us to improve relations with Russia, but the fact that he has had this fawning attitude toward Mr. Putin, has not said anything negative about him, I think continues to say to me that he does have something to fear and something very serious to fear."

Nothing to see here folks, just another "look at me moment" by the fuking former head of the CIA.

Obama was also afraid of Medvedev and Putin. I still cannot believe people don't realize what was going on before 2014 too.

The Obama administration spend 6 years completely gutting everything, only to revert back, realizing he had been utterly duped ... and stupid. Reminds me of Clinton in '98 as well.

We do everything the Russians want, and they still spend the R&D and build what they agreed they would not do.

Lol! So Brennan wildly insinuates that Russia has “leverage” over Trump because he extended a congrats? I guess Russia has leverage over Merkel and Macron too then since they also called to say congrats to Putin.

Brennan is also an Obama era hack that has been throwing around unfounded conspiracies for a year now.

Oh and color me shocked that you think it’s awesome that describable traitors in the WH continue leaking things purely with the intent to damage the WH. You’re the guy who has gloated about using this forum to bash your coworkers so this is right up your alley.

So no facts? Just the opinion of a guy that lied under oath a few times.

 

[The Branch]

The problem in this country right now is that nobody knows who to trust. Obama's people were all POLITICAL guys .... not necessarily the best ones for the job. I can promise you of that as I dealt with a few cabinet secretaries personally. Political hacks ... put in that position to drive political outcomes.

20 years ago ... it wasn't like that ... no matter which side owned the presidency. There was a certain level of "career" guys in those departments that kept the place as moderate as it could be depending on who was the president. That is now gone. Republican president = Republican hacks. Democrat president = Democrat hacks. Make no mistake about it, John Brennan is a Democrat hack 100% all day and every day.

Obama congratulated him the last time he won a sham election. Trump has no responsibility to obey his advisors, They also told him to tone down talk against N. Koreas pin head, he ignored them, and now the guy is begging for a meeting, and all of a sudden very quiet. I for one will give him benefit of the doubt.

 

[NinjaKnight]

Trump was right about one thing, he could murder a guy in the middle of the street and people like 85 and FNB would say the guy jumped in front of the bullet.

John Dowd Resigns as Trump’s Lead Lawyer in Special Counsel Inquiry

The president’s lead lawyer for the special counsel investigation, John Dowd, resigned on Thursday, according to two people briefed on the matter, days after the president called for an end to the inquiry.

Mr. Dowd, who took over the president’s legal team last summer, had considered leaving several times in recent months and ultimately concluded that Mr. Trump was increasingly ignoring his advice, one of the people said. Under Mr. Dowd’s leadership, Mr. Trump’s lawyers had advised him to cooperate with the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, who is investigating Russia’s election interference and possible ties to Trump associates as well as whether the president obstructed the inquiry.

I used to not make a huge deal about it, but your "he does a lot of charity" comeback was pretty much the straw that broke the camel's back. You load up on Conservatives, and display the same logic as an 8 year-old that the US media professes to define any Progressive.

One day you'll realize that you're still on the wrong side of history. The guy and his followers are deplorable goons... who still manage to try and take the morality argument as their own. You can't claim morality when you support a President who is as immoral as they come.
