Fox News Considers Legal Action Against Tucker Carlson

(Congress Report) – It seems that Fox News is bound and determined to destroy their own network, a cable news channel that was once the shining beacon of hope in a realm dominated by left-wing propaganda makers in the pocket of radical progressives within the Democratic Party, as they are now looking to take legal action against former host Tucker Carlson for launching a new show on Twitter.

For a major news outlet that is supposedly built on the First Amendment, Fox is woefully uneducated about what freedom of speech means. Has the company been infiltrated by leftists that are doing their best to dismantle it from the inside? I don’t have the answer to that, but it wouldn’t be surprising.

Jack Davis, writing for The Western Journal reports, “The network on Wednesday sent Carlson’s lawyers a letter saying that the Tuesday debut of Carlson’s show violated his contract, according to Axios, which said it had seen the letter. Carlson has taken the legal position that Fox breached its agreement with him, and that he was free to do as he wishes.”

Fox News booted the popular conservative pundit back in April. Ever since that time, until the letter from the network, the terms surrounding Carlson’s status with them has been a bit murky, with the former host stating that his contract was violated when company executives broke a number of promises that were made to him.

However, a representative for Carlson tossed a jab in the direction of Fox News concerning the letter.

“According to Deadline, on paper, Carlson still has a contract with Fox News through January 2025. Carlson has hired a lawyer to address the legal niceties needed for him to get out from under Fox News and the contract,” Davis added.

“Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson’s right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events,” Carlson’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, as per Axios, fired at Fox.

“On Tuesday, after Carlson aired his show on Twitter, Fox News general counsel Bernard Gugar sent the letter saying Carlson ‘is in breach’ of his contract,” Davis continued.

“In connection with such breach and pursuant to the Agreement, Fox expressly reserves all rights and remedies which are available to it at law or equity,” the Fox News letter went on to state.

The letter then provides a quote from Carlson’s contract that says, “Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Carlson’s ‘services shall be completely exclusive to Fox.’”

The contract continues by stating that the conservative pundit is “prohibited from rendering services of any type whatsoever, whether ‘over the internet via streaming or similar distribution, or other digital distribution whether now known or hereafter devised.’”

These suits are really determined to shut down Carlson’s voice, aren’t they? What are they so afraid of? One of their big fears is no doubt seeing Tucker Carlson work for another network and take his viewing audience with him, tanking their ratings and delivering a massive blow to the company’s bottom line.

The first episode of Tucker Carlson’s program on Twitter pulled in over 71 million views by 11 a.m. on Wednesday morning.

In other words, Fox News needs Tucker way more than Tucker needs Fox News.

  1. It seems that Tucker Carlson ignores the fact that it was the Russians who invaded Ukraine. And for what? To take the Ukrainian’s land, especially Crimea and a land bridge from Russia through Ukraine to the Crimea.

    This would make all of Ukraine’s stolen land a part of Russia. Then the Ukrainian citizens living on that land are to become second-class citizens, to all the millions of Russians that Putin will bring in, to join the Russians who originally infiltrated Ukraine, pretending to be immigrants looking for a better life than they had in Russia.

    But those Russians who infiltrated Ukraine pretending to be immigrants were instead Russian spies and rebel-rousers. Those Russian spies and rebel-rousers were sent there by Putin to set up the conditions for a revolution and invasion of the Ukraine by the Russians.

    Tucker, if you’re going to tell the truth, then tell all of the truth, not just what you want to set up people to believe in what it is that you want them to believe, which is not necessarily the truth, but using just part of the truth as propaganda, as you usually always seem to do.

    You expect that this will get them to believe in what you what you want them to believe, which is not necessarily the truth, but in the end will be what they will then believe is the truth, through all your false propaganda.

    You do this all the time, yet not all the people have figured that out yet, but probably will someday, at least the intelligent and well-informed people will see pass your propaganda and know the real truth, all of it, and as it really is.
