Fox News analyst blasts network as 'propaganda machine' while announcing departure

[Cow Poke]

Oh, the irony!

ETA: Sorry, wrongly assumed this was Starlight, cause it sounded exactly like him, and FF is not quite that extreme (I think).

That's because we have been brain-washed by the Russians.

I think firstfloor is that extreme, he's just funnier about it.

From the cite in the OP...

Peters had been telling friends that he planned on leaving the network in a "nuclear" fashion, one of those friends told CNN.

I have often said that the 'style' with which one departs a job* often says more about their character than what they did "on the job". The few times I actually saw Col. Peters' analysis, I thought he did a good job.



*kinda like when some pastors resign a Church, and they do it with so much "it's all about me" cause "you people are so horrible"....

But he hasn't ever advocated the slaughter of the innocents, correct?



(yeah, being somewhat facetious)

They didn't collect personal info and target those people with fake news for no reason. Propaganda obviously works, and the people it works on never realize they've been influenced. Perhaps you're not susceptible, but they don't need to influence everyone.

I don't have a problem with Fox being pro-Trump when all (and I do mean all) the other networks are so anti-Trump...

If MSNBC were the only pro Obama outlet would you have a problem with MSNBC. Of course you would. It has nothing to do with the news outlet, it has to do with you. Besides, it has nothing to do with pro Obama or pro Trump, it has to do with propaganda vs truth, and Fox is naught but a propaganda outlet serving the republican party.

I'm feeling the love, FF!

How can one boy pack so much irony into one post?

On the internet it is called flouncing. Or here on tweb we call it a "Steamer" after the quintessential flouncer we had one time.

Yeah, I think there's gotta be more to this than meets the eye.

You talking about influence is hilarious, Mr. Liberal Talking Points.

How true is this statement?

Not very.

Gorka and KT only lasted a short time.

Judge My Cousin Vinny Napolitano is often mentioned by wishful-thinking FNC fans as a potential AG or SCOTUS pick, but has never actually been rumored to be under consideration.

Bolton had been considered for Sec. State, and is now *rumored* to be under consideration for National Security Advisor. Hegseth is *rumored* to be under consideration to head the VA.

The only one I can think of who is currently in place is Heather Nauert.

I think it would be a total hoot if Weird Little Rand managed to hose the Pompeo nomination, and Trump said, "Ok, screw it, I'll nominate Heather."
