Faux News guy quits - calls it a propaganda machine

(Ralph Peters, Fox News contributor)
“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. Today, I feel that Fox News is assaulting our constitutional order and the rule of law, while fostering corrosive and unjustified paranoia among viewers,” he said.

“In my view, Fox has degenerated from providing a legitimate and much-needed outlet for conservative voices to a mere propaganda machine for a destructive and ethically ruinous administration,” Peters continued."

The National Consumer Law Center described it as a “plan to protect servicers and debt collectors that lie to borrowers.”

Wonderful! Let's just screw over the students Betsy, that's what you do best!

Another promise broken? I am just not surprised anymore....

The U.S. government will allow hunters to import elephant trophies on a case-by-case basis, breaking the president’s pledge.
