REPORT: Fox News Scheming to Silence Tucker Carlson and Sideline Him Through 2024 Election

It may be a while before you see Tucker Carlson unleashed on a TV near you. You also may never hear the full truth regarding his falling out with FOX News.

Breitbart dropped a bombshell report on Thursday revealing that Fox News is scheming to keep Tucker off the air through the 2024 election.

Breitbart also revealed this pertinent piece of information: Tucker remains under contract with the network through 2024 despite losing his TV Show. This confirms Megyn Kelly’s comments yesterday that Tucker was never officially fired from FOX News.

— Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) April 27, 2023 Tucker at the moment is attempting to negotiate an exit package with FOX News to officially let him go. The progress regarding these negotiations is not known at this time.

But even if a separation agreement is reached, Tucker will be prevented from ever saying a cross word about the way Fox News has treated him.

So much for “standing up for what’s right,” the phrase Fox News uses when promoting its primetime lineup.

Breitbart reported:

Fox News is trying to sideline former Tucker Carlson Tonight host Tucker Carlson through the 2024 election, multiple sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News.

Carlson’s current contract runs through December 2024, and as of now three sources familiar with the matter told Breitbart News that executives at the network are trying to keep Carlson on contract and not release him until after the 2024 election. The shocking decision to cancel Carlson’s top-rated weeknight program came just days after the network shut down its top-rated weekend program with host Dan Bongino. What follows here is an insider account from people actually in the know after Breitbart News spent the past several days interviewing key players in the personnel matters at Fox News, asking what really happened.

Tucker should “leak” the J6 video Rupert stopped him from airing.

So far, “leaks” have been a one-way street.

That must end.

A spine is not a job requirement for Rupert Murdoch’s personal shopper.

Tucker should be Kennedy’s VP, that plus Trump’s campaign would box in Brandon.

FOX breached the contract they had with Tucker when they started vetoing his programs.

He accepted 1/3rd of the salary they offered him for complete control of his broadcast content, and they did not keep their end of the contract.

Sounds like grounds for nullification.

FOX “news” led the election fraud.
LED the treason.

They should be jailed, shut down, and then tried
and taken to justice for their TREASON.

Strictly speaking, his silence is bought and paid for.

He can’t speak on Fox because they won’t let him on the air anymore.

He can’t speak on another cable or broadcast outlet because of a noncompete clause in his employment contract which is still in effect.

And he can’t speak ill of Fox to others without inviting liability to be sued for money damages greatly in excess of his net worth. Once again due to a related clause in his employment contract.

My thinking is that they know this and do not care. They aim to buy enough time to silence him until it no longer matters - after the election. Is someone paying them (Fox) off?

He could speak at political rallies and have the video shown on the internet.

FOX breached their contract with him when they started vetoing his content.

Tucker took $20-million instead of $60-million for complete control of his broadcasts.

The contract was voided when FOX reneged on their end of the bargain.

My guess is Tucker no longer has access to those.

If he does he should turn it all over to omg O’Keefe

We will see how that works out for them. They believe they are the smartest folks on earth and can get away with everything with their fine lawyers. So, that is why Dominion was held under a billion dollar settlement - because of Fox’s excellent lawyering and uncanny intelligence. Their lawyers will ‘squash’ Tucker because he is only a human, and not superior like them..

If this is true - that FOX wants to keep him off the air until past the election - it's time to 'Bush Light' FoxNews.

The new Fox slogan...

“We distort, you deride”

“But even if a separation agreement is reached, Tucker will be prevented from ever saying a cross word about the way Fox News has treated him.”

So what! We don’t care about him talking about his employment situation.

We care about him talking about the issues of the day, which Fox can in no way prevent. Because we’re all citizens.

Tucker Carlson can probably nullify every one of those contract provisions by announcing that he’s starting a political action committee, or even perhaps announcing that he’s a candidate for public office.
