Ralph Peters, a US Army lieutenant colonel who served as a military analyst for Fox News, said he felt "compelled to explain" his departure from the company to colleagues, before skewering the network he has called home for years. Peters had been telling friends that he planned on leaving the network in a "nuclear" fashion, one of those friends told CNN.
"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."

Ailes was credited with the "Orchestra Pit Theory" regarding sensationalist political coverage in the news media, which originated with his quip:
If you have two guys on a stage and one guy says, "I have a solution to the Middle East problem," and the other guy falls in the orchestra pit, who do you think is going to be on the evening news?[

A liberal who dislikes Fox? What a terrible OP by someone spreading fake news. Trying to deceive someone as if this is a real journalist with no partisan bias.

Found out where Roger Ailes was buried... Palm Beach Florida.
Also found out WHY Peters is especially pizzed off... Ailes had his coffin wrapped with the American Flag, a tradition supposedly reserved for Military Veterans, not for a SCUMBAG CHICKEN HAWK that not only NEVER SERVED but also made his fortune on televising the sending of our men and women off into battle. Talk about the quintessence of a real POS... Ailes was all that and much more.

Fox News suffers ratings slump while staffers fret about post-Trump future

"We are lost," a Fox News insider remarked to me recently, and there are lots of data points to back up the assertion.
Nielsen numbers for the month of January were released on Tuesday, and Fox ranked third in the three-horse cable news race for the first time since 2001.
Furthermore, CNN was the No. 1 channel across all of cable.

"Think about it this way: January was one of the biggest months of political news in a generation, yet Fox couldn't capitalize. Instead of competing by promoting correspondents and putting actual news coverage front and center, the FOX News network prioritized ever more outrageous, ever more extreme opinion."

Fox is floundering in third place, and it's shocking to see. The lack of editorial leadership is palpable, according to numerous sources at the FOX network.

" Here's how The Daily Beast's team described Fox's "nosedive" on Tuesday:
"Signaling a seismic shift in the media landscape as defeated former president Donald Trump hibernates in strangely silent exile at Mar-a-Lago, Fox News' two-decade-long winning streak came to an abrupt end Tuesday while rivals CNN and MSNBC claimed the No. 1 and No. 2 rankings, respectively, in all of cable television. Fox News' embarrassing third-place showing is the continuation of a downward trend in which the right-leaning outlet lost 2020's fourth quarter to CNN and alienated Trump-supporting loyal viewers by calling Arizona early for Joe Biden during its election-night coverage."

Reporting actual news vs pontificating
"The public's demand for news is another big reason for FOX's ratings plunge. Between the pandemic, the transition of power, and the insurrection, many people want reporting ahead of pontificating, and CNN is built for that. Fox is not. Just count the number of CNN bureaus versus Fox. Fox is actively avoiding the news when producers believe bluster will rate better -- on Tuesday night, for example, CNN and MSNBC showed the US Capitol ceremony for police officer Brian Sicknick while Fox stuck with Sean Hannity's screech fest.

Election technology companies had their business reputations destroyed by election fraud lies. Now they are fighting back with lawsuits against Fox, Guliani and others. Election fraud liars are scrambling to avoid lawsuits but they can't retract the damages caused.

Maybe a few viewers will cross iber to Disney ABC nightly news but fox fills a niche main stream media has left behind. Somewhere in America someone with a Budweiser boxers and a tank top is listening to fox as Gospel on the mount.
As rating tankers move on new batch of pundents fill their roles. That white house mouth piece trump had will go far in that company... If she has to blow her way to an anchor chair... Yes it happens has happened and but I am sure nothing like that has ever happened or will again at fox news....
Fox news is alive and well.

Your niave if you feel anything will be done in some bickering committee debate.
President Biden's newly appointed Pentagon chief Wednesday issued a "stand down" for the next 60 days, ordering military leaders to spend time talking to troops in an effort to weed out extremism in their ranks, after it came to light that a number of former and current military members participated in the riot at the U.S. Capitol last month.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered a Department of Defense-wide "stand down" to discuss the problem of extremism in the ranks, Pentagon press secretary John F. Kirby said in a statement. The "stand down" will occur over the next 60 days, Kirby said, allowing that "each service, each command and each unit can take the time out to have these needed discussions with the men and women of the force." Training materials will be developed and sent out to units so they can have discussions about the issue.
Austin, alongside Army Gen. Mark A, Milley, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has met with service civilian leaders and service chiefs to discuss the problem of extremism. While extremism has been a problem in the military in the past, Kirby told reporters at the Pentagon that the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, which left five people dead, was a "wake-up call" for military leaders.
He said Austin wants to get a better handle on the breadth of the problem.
In other words go away we will take it from nothing to see move along move along. Here some milk money now go off and play.
