Ralph Peters hahahaha....an immature, silly lieutenant colonel. He resigned because the anchors stopped buying his BS which was all over the map. As for Conor Powell.....never heard of him.
Boy this is a tragedy.... hahaha.

Before you go off the deep end about how ethical Peters is, perhaps you should read this statement he made:
'Let's be fair, Barack Obama – certainly blew it right, left and center sheer trepidation, cowardice, the inability to ever make a decision, but we are where we are with half a million, perhaps more by now Syrians dead, primarily killed by the Assad regime, the Iranians, Hezbollah and now the Russians. And yet you want us to ally with the Russians, with Iran, with Assad? '
This nutter was against working with Russia to put down the mad dogs of Isis, and was just as rabidly anti Obama. Nobody takes him seriously, he was always good for a rant, nothing more.

Fox correspondents are like politicians, if they weren't Republicans they'd be Democrats. In the center the differences are paper thin and a lot of people are hedging their bets just in case Trump tanks.
In spite all the invective directed at Fox, their news team is pretty professional. The commentators are the purveyors of red meat, but frankly way less hysterical than MSNBC and CNN.
Fox is the most trusted US news source right behind the BBC which probably ranks high because Americans tend to be intimidated by the Pom accent:
........
'At 90% trustworthy, the BBC topped an analysis created for Research Intelligencer by Brand Keys released this week, followed by Fox News at 87% and PBS at 86%.
Rather than ranking their favorite news sources, the survey asked 4,012 viewers how much they trusted broadcast and cable TV news sources that they watched three or more times per week. So those who regularly watched the BBC, Fox News and PBS tended to trust them — a lot.
Bloomberg placed fourth, at 81%, followed by Comcast Corp.’s CMCSA, +0.23% MSNBC at 80% and the three broadcast networks — CBS CBS, +0.70% (72%), NBC (70%) and Walt Disney’s DIS, -0.05% ABC (69%). AT&T's T, +0.90% CNN also got 69%, with Sinclair Broadcast Group SBGI, +0.39% finishing last, at 58%'

No the BBC is more subtly biased....as is the Financial Times, a delightful but hopelessly pinko publication......and the Economist very earnest but as bent as Beckham penalty.
