Scoop: Fox sends Tucker Carlson cease-and-desist letter

[onthedarkside]

 

Fox News has sent a "cease and desist" letter to Tucker Carlson as he ramps up a competing series on Twitter that drew a combined 169 million views for its first two episodes, Axios has learned.

 

Why it matters: The contract battle between Fox and its former top host — who was taken off the air in April, after the network's historic Dominion settlement — has mighty repercussions for the conservative media ecosystem.

 

With "Tucker on Twitter," Carlson and his growing production team are working to elevate Elon Musk's social media site as a news platform.

Tucker isn't conservative.

He's a populist manipulator leaning on lunatics who in majority belong to the group of "right wing nutters".

That group hasn't much in common with the proper right wing or conservatives.

This simple fact doesn't get highlighted enough. It was always interesting to watch him have Senator Rand Paul (a small government conservative) on his show, typically talking about isolationist foreign policy issues. Because apart from that, they have almost nothing in common in terms of economics or culture.

Tucker has more in common with the (economically) interventionist anti-establishment hard left, think Jimmy Dore types, than anything "conservative" but it's quite convenient for many lazy liberals to mindlessly label anything they don't like "right-wing" or "conservative".

That's entertainment!

 

They're determined to silence that Tucker.

 

But he don't give a Fox.
