According to a letter sent to Tucker Carlson’s lawyers, Fox News alleges the former anchor on the network, who hosted the popular Tucker Carlson Tonight, violated his contract with his new Twitter video.
“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 letter from Fox News general counsel Bernard Gugar read.
“This evening (Tuesday) we were made aware of Mr. Tucker Carlson’s appearance on Twitter in a video that lasted over 10 minutes,” read the letter. “Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Carlson’s ‘services shall be completely exclusive to Fox,’” referencing the ex-Fox News host’s contract.
It claims Tucker Carlson 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.”
Axios, which received a copy of the letter, wrote, “A breach of contract claim sets Fox News up to explore potential legal action against Carlson, a move that would intensify the already thorny public battle between the two parties.”
“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,” Bryan Freedman, Carlson’s attorney, wrote to Axios.
“A source told Axios that Carlson was told by a senior Fox executive that the network’s goal is to keep him sidelined until 2025,” the outlet concluded.
Anything to silence the truth.
you can lead a lefty-loonie to the truth,
but you can’t make him think
FAUX News claims of Fair and Balanced News is pure BS. It is tainted with the Monarchical UK & Canadian government views of what Rights people have are only those Rights those in power deem them to have. In certain governments around this world should one say Anything that those despots in charge believe is counter to the the official line; then the Paper Constitution is damned, that person is chopped up and disappears. IMO FaUx News wants something akin to those Despots actions to happen to Tucker Carlson, at least until 2025.
Shame on Lords Rupert and Loch Ness monster Murdochs. Oh yes, we have to include the GAL & Lady CEO, Suzanne Scott, in that shaming. The above are my opinions alone and not those of this site. However, I rejoice with the many other non-subjects sharing the same opinions.
