Former Fox analyst Ralph Peters: Fox viewers have 'utterly skewed view of reality'

Kinda like our boy Whell. Utterly skewed.

Ralph Peters: 'Fox isn't immoral, it's amoral'

Many people believe, as Ralph Peters does, that President Trump was a "gift to Fox," and "Fox in turn is a gift to Trump."

The difference is that Peters worked at Fox News for years.

Peters, a retired US Army lieutenant colonel, was a Fox military analyst until March, when he resigned and burned the proverbial bridge. In a letter to his colleagues, he accused Fox of "assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law."

Peters' statements shocked the TV news industry at the time.

On CNN's "Reliable Sources" on Sunday, he had more to say. "People that only listen to Fox have an utterly skewed view of reality," he said. He described the relationship between the president and his favored news network as a "closed loop," but that was hardly Peters' most strident critique of his former employer.

"Fox isn't immoral, it's amoral," he said. Later in the interview, when Reliable Sources aired clips that show Fox News hosts defending Trump's decision to strip former CIA director John Brennan's security clearance, Peters was asked if he thought his colleagues at Fox are "proud of their performance."

"The polite word is 'prostitutes,' so I'll just leave it at that," Peters fired back.

Peters garnered attention on Sunday for his stunning denunciation of Trump.

"Trump gives us something new to worry about virtually every day, but it's important not to lose sight of the overall picture," Peters said. "This is a distinctly un-American president who really doesn't seem to like America very much, certainly doesn't respect it. And he's a president who appears to be enthralled to a foreign power, a hostile foreign power."

That foreign power is Russia. Peters, who was a Russia analyst earlier in his career, has previously said he believes that Vladimir Putin "has a grip on President Trump."

On "Reliable Sources," he said he was speaking out because he believes Trump and his aides are a "real threat to our republic."

"What we need is people who will speak honestly and say what they believe and not worry about who it offends," Peters said. "I'm just sick and tired of people hedging and hemming and hawing. This is a president of the United States who is a danger to the republic."

Peters was harshly critical of former President Barack Obama during his tenure at Fox.

He once called Obama a "total p***y" on the air -- and was suspended for two weeks.

But his criticism of Trump is different. He said on Sunday that Trump "does not respect our system of government," does not understand it, and does not respect the Constitution.

Musicians Ben Folds, Jason Isbell are ‘unhinged, angry left,’ Republicans say

Laughable! I mean, just how wacko are Whell and his fellow cultists?

Anyone else remember Ben Fold’s thread on AK?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...f07_story.html

In their bid to keep control of the Senate this November, Republicans are setting their sights on a pair of unlikely foes: singer-songwriter Ben Folds and country rocker Jason Isbell.

The musicians are set to headline a rally Monday night for former Tennesse governor Phil Bredesen (D), who is facing off against Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R) in one of the country’s most closely watched Senate races.

On Monday afternoon, the National Republican Senatorial Committee sent out a tweet about the rally claiming that Bredesen is “part of the unhinged, angry left and supports people who vehemently oppose President Trump.”

The notion that one needs to be angry and unhinged to oppose the Lying Dotard is pretty lame. IMO, you need to be unhinged to offer your unwavering support to the Lying Dotard.

Kris Kobach, who is running for Governor of Kansas as a Republican, features on his website a column with the claim that “75 percent of those on the most wanted criminals lists in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Albuquerque are illegal aliens.” The problem here is twofold. The stated fact is wrong, and the source for the claim is Peter Gemma, a white nationalist agitator.

"corrupt to the point of caricature"

https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com...821-story.html

Duncan Hunter's home town newspaper asks this reprobate to resign. He's refusing to resign, or even step down from his committees. As one of the first Trumpkins, naturally he's shouting "witch hunt" and blaming "democrats" in the DOJ, and "whatabout Hillary!" Sounds a lot like Whell.
