It looks like you're trying to implicitly answer the second while ignoring the first. Not withstanding my first question, my second question was inferred from your last statement. I didn't know if you meant they were going to lose ratings, hire other people, shut down, etc. I'm sorry you "suck" at having civil discussion.

Shoot...thought it was someone important....just a hired gun to talk on military matters.....one of a dozen out there ...not like he had any particular insight that was unique or that revealing. I don't watch Fox that much but I would have never known he was gone if someone had not pointed it out....he had no regular slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone but his wife, assuming he was married, know when the network asked him to be on? He was not a pundit/host, he was a contributor for over a decade. The mere concept tells anyone that he is on when Fox asks of him to be on because they needed his expertise.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 20,406 Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 This guy has been a long time regular contributor on Fox on intelligence and military matters. I recognized him instantly. Maybe this will jog your memory: he's the dude that got suspended for a bit for calling Obama a "total pu**y" on air for his handling of Putin and Russia. The guy's conservative bonafides are unimpeachable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conservative? .....he struck me as a reactionary or militarist and I've heard his comments for years. I always thought he was a bit off center I've never heard him voice a single social or economic opinion that I would associate with political conservatism. He is being mischaracterized here.

TitanTiger 20,406 Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 If it's about a contract dispute, Fox certainly left a golden opportunity on the table to say so: Quote ...In an interview, Peters, 65, who lives in Warrenton, Va., said he never intended his email to become public and that he wasn’t trying to “grandstand” about his differences with the network, which he joined as a contributor in 2008. But he offered no apologies. Instead, he said he wrote the email because Fox’s hosts — whom he did not single out by name — are “hurting the country.” “It’s not complicated,” he said. “It’s not. It may sound corny to say I took an oath as an officer, but it’s true. I just feel for their selfish reasons, they’re doing damage to the country.” In a statement in reply to Peters, Fox said, “Ralph Peters is entitled to his opinion despite the fact that he’s choosing to use it as a weapon in order to gain attention. We are extremely proud of our top-rated prime-time hosts and all of our opinion programing.” To which Peters replied: “If I’m seeking attention why the [expletive] did I just quit Fox and the chance to speak to millions every day?” https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/fox-news-commentator-exits-with-a-searing-attack-on-fox-news/2018/03/20/fc876fc4-2c81-11e8-8ad6-fbc50284fce8_story.html?utm_term=.63fb1f640355 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
