A longtime Fox News analyst sharply criticized the network on Tuesday, denouncing the outlet as a "propaganda machine" devoted to President Trump, and saying that it was "wittingly harming our system of government for profit," "Four decades ago, I took an oath as a newly commissioned officer. I swore to 'support and defend the Constitution,' and that oath did not expire when I took off my uniform," Peters wrote in the letter sent to a handful of colleagues. "Today, I feel that Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers. Over my decade with Fox, I long was proud of the association. Now I am ashamed." Poster Comment: Thanks for telling us what we already knew........

So FNC was replacing Peters with younger military guys for commentary. Peters had a history of hysterical and rather weird commentary there. Now he wants to flack himself as an exposer of FNC, hoping to get work at CNN or MSNBC, running down FNC on those stations.
Yeah - that worked out so well for Megyn Kelly didn't it? Megyn Kelly Is Tanking Ratings, Killing Employee Morale: Reports
His only alternative is to finally retire. There is a reason, after all, that he was never promoted to general. And if Peters can squeeze out some more gigs, even for a few months, at CNN or MSNBC, that's still money and brand name building he wouldn't get otherwise. After that, there's still personal appearances, maybe a book to write, all sold on the name recognition that Peters built up as an FNC regular for some years.

Because, selling the IMAGE is sooo much more important than discerning the actual character of the product. But nah, now we don't care, right?
