Tucker Carlson’s Lawyer Fires Warning Shot At Fox News

Ousted Fox New host Tucker Carlson’s high-powered media lawyer, Bryan Freedman, sent what appeared to be a major warning shot at Fox News in his first public comments since Carlson left the network, telling Axios it is “beyond preposterous” to try to keep Carlson from speaking to his audience as the former top-rated cable news anchor seeks a new job.

How does wanting free speech makes you right wing

God Bless Tucker Carlson. A True American Patriot and Hero.

So, Fox stated that both parties parted ways; yet Fox still has control over him?
If both parties agree to part ways; then doesn’t that mean all legal contracts are moot?

[NataliaDiazJackson]

So much talent gets lost this way in every field. Talent gets shelved. Paid to not work because they raise the bar too high and could possibly change the status quo. Whether you agree with him or not, he provides something real for you to respond to. I hope he continues to resist.

Notice nobody's talking about Don Lemon.

But the Media said he was “Done “ “Finished “ 😂🤣

Who told you to put music to something one has to read??? AND!!! IF I wanted to read the news I would buy a newspaper!!! Narrate it or go away!!!!

[kinggzz]

tucker is like the shark in jaws, the less we see & hear of him the more we want to see & hear more from him. we are waiting tucker, waiting for tucker tonight brought to you by "insert network name here". 😉

[launchpadmcquack]

If I wanted to read I'd go to school...

I would have thought that Fox News benching Tucker Carlson is restraint of trade. After all, every week that Tucker Carlson is absent from the screen devalues his brand. I see an impending

[Alegend]

I hope he doesnt take the newsmax deal. Id like to see him do his own thing completely off the leash.

[PISQUEFrancis]

Wonder is Tucker Carlson, became a candidate(for ANY elected position), if the "Bonds of Silence", which Fox, might implement ... could be broken?

[jamesparker]

He got fired, but they are keeping him under contract? And he can't get another job? Are they still paying him?

[freds]

It's great seeing Tucker videos, of any kind!
Respects, Tucker!

[RJR]

Fox! Let Tucker go!!!! Are you afraid of the truth? It’s coming to light whether you as a new station want it to or not. Tucker Carlson is the favorite of many Americans. I guess Fox could close the doors over a spat where you ask him to leave. LET HIM GO, we want to follow him
Not lame Fox!!! 😮

[melodyclarke]

What ever it takes to get tucker back do it

[pamelapoll]

Keep piling on with the character assasination of Tucker. Forbes is a JOKE.

[dianeokane]

How can FOX keep Tucker Carlson under contract when they fired him. I would imagine that FOX would be in breach of contract.

[terryschoenith]

I'd imagine his contract was to be on air, just because theyre still paying him doesnt mean their fulfilling their end of the contract- theyll argue they are. Tucker is an on-air personality, its how he earns his living- I dont think FOX wants this to end up in court....

[ivanvillafane]

😂 lol I can’t stand videos like this. If I wanted to read, I’d look for news articles. Wanted to drive and listen.
