Hey guyz, this is what we should be talking about!

In the note to a handful of colleagues, Peters said that he could not in good conscience renew his contract with the network, explaining that he believed Fox News had become a "propaganda machine" for President Donald Trump. . . . .

Peters' note, however, underscored the divide at Fox News between the network's opinion programming and hard news. Peters cited the Fox News opinion hosts' relentless attacks on the FBI, Justice Department, intelligence agencies, and other branches of government and said he believed Fox News was knowingly causing harm to the country in exchange for profit. His comments helped expand a rift that has grown incredibly deep as of late, the longtime Fox News employee told CNN.

It seems to me that with Trump's election, Fox moved past undermining the legitimate press and now works also to undermine the intel services. That is largely what has moved Peters, the soldier patriot, to reject another contract.

"The Obama deep state" thesis is a narrative that keeps his base behind Trump and the Congress which would normally check his excesses. And it is primary fuelled by Fox commentators.

That is bad for the country.
