FOX threatens to sue Tucker Carlson over breach of contract – By Karen Townsend (Hot Air) / June 8, 2023
FOX is threatening to sue Tucker Carlson for breach of contract over his new show on Twitter. Tucker on Twitter launched its first episode this week and it generated huge viewership numbers.
The truth is that Tucker has the ability to attract a much larger audience on social media than he did on television for FNC, even though his show was the cable new network’s highest rated show. His fans are loyal and they will follow him wherever he goes. FNC must have known that when they decided to make him a scapegoat for the settlement with Dominion Voting Systems, in my opinion. He is just as successful away from FNC as he was with the network, if not more so.
The first episode, in case you are one of the few people who has not seen it, is 10 minutes long and done in monologue style. Carlson addresses Ukraine, UFOs and the mistake people make when they rely on cable news for their information. It has been viewed more than 80 million times, and counting. In comparison, his show on FNC averaged 3.1 million viewers each weeknight during the weeks leading up to his firing.
