Ex-Fox News contributor lays bare 'amoral' Fox employees for being Trump's army of 'prostitutes'

Retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel Ralph Peters, a former Fox News analyst, on Sunday suggested that his one-time colleagues at the conservative network are “prostitutes” for allowing President Donald Trump to set their agenda.

“I believe as a former Russia analyst for most of my career… I’m convinced that the president of the United States is enthralled to Vladimir Putin, ... There’s no other way to explain his behavior. And he perfectly fits the profile of the kind of people the Russians target.”

“This is a distinctly un-American president who doesn’t seem to like America very much,” Peters added.

“What we need is people who will speak honestly,” he insisted. “And not worry about who it offends. 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… We all need to do our parts.”

Similar to some other websites,
they gather stories from around the web and publicize them.

Life in the cyber age.

10. Who decided that?

I often look in on Raw Story because it has stuff the mainstream, profit-driven, ratings-driven media doesn't necessarily have the guts to cover. Now, that doesn't mean that if I see an article that looks especially shocking, I don't try and corobberate through another source.

But generally, I've found RS to be OK.

8. Yeah, but the old white male demographic likes the crotch couch.

Like the old Wonder Woman tv show, you don't even need the audio.

9. I guess that we're supposed to forget that this guy earned his Fox contributor pay check...

By calling President Obama a "total pussy" on live TV.

11. not at all, but it has no bearing on this accusation, does it?

[MrScorpio]

13. He spent years trying to tear down President Obama when it was just a sport for him on Fox

Basically, prostituting himself to the right, putting his own bank account over what was best for the nation. He didn't have any conscience then, when he knew that all he was doing was ginning up hatred for President Obama.

Now that it's gotten serious, and all that animosity has culminated in putting Trump in the White House, he doesn't feel one iota of remorse for his own words and actions.

So, yeah. When he is going to own up for his own responsibility here?

[still_one]

16. I don't absolve him of any responsibility for his past garbage. At the same time I have no problem

he goes after the racist, bigot in the WH, no matter what his motivation

[dawn frenzy adams]

12. Indeed!

I never forgot what that awful little man said.

[7962]

18. Which makes him harder to dismiss the you point him out to Trumpers.

He cant be portrayed as some "weak RINO"
I remember when he made that comment and how they LOVED him for it. Blasted Fox for suspending him too. NOW what are they gonna say??

[guss]

15. Jesus

Maybe he found Jesus
and is in the process of recovered his soul.
I like him speaking out.
I like his view on it.
Trump is not American.
he is the biggest puppet since Howdee doodee.
Putin, putin on the greatest show on earth.
Republicans are providing the biggest tent.
For the 3 ring Circus that they can profit from.
Traitors.

17. He should apologize to prostitutes.
