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.
Two things are clear from speaking to people who actually know what’s happening on the inside: First, the official narrative from the network is untrue. Second, and perhaps more importantly, many of the leaks and speculation that have poured out in the past couple days since the bombshell news of Carlson’s show getting canceled was announced are also simply untrue.
Nobody would speak on the record, for a number of reasons. First off, Fox News and the broader Murdoch empire are known for their ruthlessness against anyone who speaks the truth about what is actually happening there. Network spokeswoman Irena Briganti is believed to use outlets also owned by the Murdochs like the New York Post and Wall Street Journal to plant pieces that reflect poorly on foes of News Corporation.
Secondly, both Carlson and Bongino are technically still under contract by the network. Bongino’s contract runs through the end of April and Carlson’s through the 2024 general election.

Both are, sources say, trying to negotiate exit packages—and even after they formally have those agreements in place, there will be non-disparagement clauses that prevent them from ever speaking the truth about this.
It doesn’t cover their wives now does it?
😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
Perhaps Fox canned them because they repelled advertising dollars due to deplatforming by “progressives”. After the settlement they need to make money.
What next will Fox News hire Don lemon the fag?
Is FOX trying to put the ipecac industry out of business by offering the service for free?
from the article...
source close to Carlson also said it, noting that the Murdochs may end up trying to hold Carlson in his contract through the next presidential election to effectively silence him and keep him from becoming serious competition to them, whatever he ends up doing.
They’re going to try and keep his mouth shut till after the 2024 election so he doesnt do any damage to the bidens. What tucker needs is...
a proxy :)
Fox fired them to shut them up during the 2024 campaign. I heard today that Paul Ryan was instrumental on this ouster.
“and even after they formally have those agreements in place, there will be non-disparagement clauses that prevent them from ever speaking the truth about this.”
So no such clauses currently exist.
Tucker needs to continue making appearances on other shows telling what Fox is doing.
If Fox wants it to stop they can pay up and release Tucker.
If Fox wants NDAs Tucker gets paid triple.
If Fox squawks about the money Tucker needs to go right back on live appearances THAT DAY and burn Fox’s butt into smoldering ash.
The next day, start over with more appearances.
Tucker has the upper hand here and needs to show the Murdoch brothers who the public actually listens to.

The Yezhov treatment. Disappeared
>> Is FOX trying to put the ipecac industry out of business?
Ha ha... you mean Lachlan “Ralph” Murdoch?
If Tucker DOES ‘disappear’ IRL it’ll be obvious to all but the very stupid that something is at play that is MUCH bigger than anyone realizes.
Let’s hope that doesn’t happen.
Will the Purge continue or will this be enough to send the message? I don’t think Tucker will remain disappeared so the dossier (prolly fake) will be used to further crush TCs message. He’ll be too busy answering the accusations to carry any message.
Well, now we know why Tucker lawyered up. He’s going to sue to let him out of the contract.
FNC is dead to me. They obviously hate real conservatism. I had already gotten rid of the globalist WSJ long ago.
Bret Baier can kiss my ass.
how’s making money from advertisers gonna work out if FNC loses half its audience?
If they fired Tucker they haven’t a leg to stand on.
