Fox News is escalating its effort to prevent Tucker Carlson from hosting a new show on Twitter.
The letter comes a week after Fox, but Carlson is still collecting checks, with his contract running through the end of 2024. “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 read.
Carlson’s lawyers have argued that his new show is protected by the First Amendment. “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, a lawyer for Carlson, told Axios last week.
Freedman and Harmeet Dhillon, another lawyer for Carlson, responded to the cease-and-desist letter by emphasizing that Carlson “will not be silenced by anyone,” describing Fox’s decision to push him out “the most catastrophic programming decision in the history of the cable news industry,” according to Axios.
