Fox Sends Cease and Desist Letter to Tucker Carlson, Telling Him He Is Not Allowed to Express His Political Opinions Until 2025
Foxweiser rips off whatever part of its mask was remaining.
"NOT FOR PUBLICATION." LOL. It's adorable that Foxweiser thinks it can control what people do with its meritless legal threats.
Fox News has sent a cease-and-desist letter to Tucker Carlson as he ramps up a competing series on Twitter that drew a combined 169 million views for its first two episodes, Axios has learned. ... Details: The cease-and-desist letter has "NOT FOR PUBLICATION" in bold at the top.
What's happening: Fox is continuing to pay Carlson, and maintains that his contract keeps his content exclusive to Fox through Dec. 31, 2024. Carlson is making a First Amendment argument for posting on Twitter, and asserts that Fox has committed material breaches of his contract. ...
What they're saying: Harmeet Dhillon, a lawyer who represents Carlson along with Bryan Freedman, said in a statement to Axios: "Fox News continues to ignore the interests of its viewers, not to mention its shareholder obligations." "Doubling down on the most catastrophic programming decision in the history of the cable news industry, Fox is now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election," the statement continued. "Tucker will not be silenced by anyone ... He is a singularly important voice on matters of public interest in our country, and will remain so." Fox News didn't comment.
Dhillon commented on Twitter:
Harmeet K. Dhillon
@pnjaban My friend and client @TuckerCarlson will not be silenced -- by the far left or by Fox News. For all the friends who have been asking "why don't we see you on Fox anymore?" -- This is why. I am passionately committed to free speech and a free flow of information necessary for a free society. Until Fox stops trying to silence Tucker, it's not a place for me. And I feel for my friends working at the network which has clearly caved into pressure from some quarter to silence @TuckerCarlson. What you are seeing on Fox today is a censored version of the news. Keep that in mind as you make your viewing and your commenting choices. 3/ Also, where my meme wallahs at? Bring your best memes, folks! Go! For all the members of Congress, culture warriors, "influencers,"@GOP officials -- do you really want to air your views on a network that spits on its viewers, leaks oppo on its own talent, and even threatens former talent for speaking, for free, on @Twitter?! You have free will!

Harmeet Dhillon would have been terrible as head of the RNC. I really don't understand why Ronna Romney McDaniel was worried about her at all. Ronna's oh-so-much-more effective as Harmeet ever would have been.
Harmeet fights. That's not the look the RNC wants to cultivate right now.

Yup. Unless Carlson had an NDA with Fox for post-contract disclosures, they can put all the notices they want on it and it won't make a damn bit of difference.
Like when I get E-Mails from companies or lawyers (always accidentally for the latter) that have footers about how everything in that E-Mail was confidential.
Uhhh, no. You didn't disclose it before the message and *I* never agreed to confidentiality and we have no contract or NDA about it.

Nice spin, but I kind of doubt that the '24 election is of paramount concern. If they can keep him silent for that long, he's finished. I think that's the real goal, and election stuff is secondary. If they can keep him quiet for a couple of years, there will likely be no comeback. He's done, and a major anti-establishment player is just gone.

The latter is probably the big one. If Fox violated the contract - which, based only on hearsay about editorial control, they appeared to - then they don't have a leg to stand on.
Of course, the courts aren't honest, so get ready for some serious Calvinball.

They must really feel threatened by Tucker.
I mean, they fired him so the Dominion ntiwits got what they want.
I guess they think that Tucker's contract created some new form of indentured servitude. In perpetuity.
What's another name for that? Where you lose all of your civil rights?
Oh, yeah. Slavery.

Hello from the East Coast Hudson Valley school of comportment and good manners for young men (and women). Where they are taught how to become high efficiency Blue Falcons and knife their buddy in the back for even the slightest gain. They may also learn some small bit of military history, or leadership, but becoming the bestest and brightest Blue Falcon is really what they learn here.

I believe certain clauses in contracts can be considered null and void if they conflict with the laws of the country, state, and/or local.
That being said, you can engage in an NDA and be expected not to talk about certain things.
No way to know without seeing the contract.

All any of the other talent had to do was to take up Tuck's talking points and hammer those home to the remaining audience. If Laura, Sean or some newbie tacked in that direction, FOX could have weathered the storm. They chose to remain silent. And now, here we are.
Kind of like Mumford and Sons after the Winston Marshall was cast into the outer darkness.

How does this benefit Fox?
Posted by: That Northernlurker what lurkd at June 12, 2023 04:09 PM (zssUw)

It doesn't. It's either petty vindictiveness or Party-aligned action or both. There is no benefit to Fox in this. There was no benefit to Fox in firing Carlson in the first place. There is perhaps some vague "benefit" along the lines of "the rest of the propagandists and the state will quit trying to bury us so often," but that's pretty ethereal.
It is important not to think of the news companies - Fox or anyone else - as businesses. They aren't, in any traditional sense. It isn't about money. It isn't about growth. It isn't about the market. It isn't about the customer. Jeff Bezos didn't buy the WashPo and Carlos Slim doesn't shovel money into the NYT's maw because they're looking for a financial return on investment. That's not what it's about. It's about being in that vast propaganda complex and snuffing out dissent.

Probably not. Twitter is *incredibly* liberal in what it counts as a "view." If it's on your screen for more than two seconds (IIRC), it's a "view" on the public counter.
How many people *actually* viewed it by streaming standards? That is, total minutes of viewership and how many people watched at least 50% or 75% of the video? I don't know. I am sure Twitter does.
You can be sure it's a wildly smaller number than 169 million, though. Not that it matters. He was pulling in something like 4-6 million before Fox fired him. He is almost-certainly beating that by commanding margins.

Yet Tucker would be fine with that arrangement. Both sides move on.
How can a judge stop Tucker from talking in public? The judge could fine him on a monthly basis or something, but then the fine would need to be higher than the salary Faux is paying Tucker. And that doesn't sound legal (not that that's an obstacle in Totalitarian America).

An 8 figure civil judgement against tucker along with a gag order would be the most likely outcome. And it will come just as the 2024 election season is getting into high gear.

Tucker was one of the Fox employees who continually said Unless you can show me objective evidence he doesn’t see any malfeasance by Dominion.
That Fox brass implied through leaks that he was a reason they settled with Dominion is bullshit.

It totally was.
They're relying on the Dem-public-lore: "Of COURSE, Tucker publicized the Dominion conspiracy!!"
It was why so many Dems immediately took it that "Fox lied" when Fox did not allow its commentators to target Dominion. They were sure that Fox had said "something different" on air.
However, what Dominion was citing was that Fox was allowing *guests* who accused Dominion. And that would have been a hard test in any court (except a Dem-appointed Judge's court) to argue that Fox must comply with the de-platforming rules their competitors followed.

So when they tell him he can't do his show anymore, they can keep him from saying anything on any platform, as long as they pay him 10million a year. Supreme Court will hear this one eventually.

And Tucker doesn't GAF. His family had a trust fund long before this blew up and its bullet proof.
It's not just that he already has enough money, it's that he's being set up as the king of the conservative commenters, and that will pay off bigly. Every attempt Fox makes to silence him boosts his credentials.

The non compete was in exchange for continued payment. It’s not a prison sentence it’s a contract. The most I see Tucker liable for is forfeiting his salary.

Be interesting to see how Fox voluntarily terminating him affects the noncompete clause. They weren't paying him $10,000,000 to keep his thoughts to himself. Noncompete clauses generally operate to prevent someone from jumping ship. He was forced to walk the plank.

What you are seeing on Fox today is a censored version of the news.
Come on, nobody believes that. It's an intelligence operation spreading Regime propaganda.

I'm not sure how iron-clad the contract is, when they allowed him to post FOX content on Tucker's own Twitter account, rather than one run by FOX. If they didn't limit what he posted on his account while he was there, I don't think they can limit what he posts there now.

Tucker was also doing speeches FOR PAY at numerous venues... which were Posted online... during his contract.
These had nothing to do with Fox, but they made no legal issue of it.

The funny part about this situation is what Tucker mostly does is opinion stuff not hard news. I can't think of an issue where he has been out front of what is already percolating on the internet.
Fox is just pissing off people who like Tucker for the way he presents certain issues not because we are learning anything new from him. That's a pretty dumb fight to pick.

Since Tucker worked out of his home, which is not in NYC, he can always counter sue in his jurisdiction. I'm guessing that Tucker counter suit would loot the fux snuuz bank account clean.

So what is the worst Fox can do to Tucker? I would think the only thing they could legally do is withhold the money they would have paid him. But the junta jailed the oathkeeper dude who was not even in DC. So now I think if they get a junta judge who decides it is ok to extend the commiecrat penumbra to Faux news they could get an injunction that Tucker cannot broadcast with an actual jail time penalty if he violates the court order.
I know these things but I still can't wrap my head around the fact they we are in this dystopia.

The exact wording of the contract would be interesting to see. Both parties must have known the possibility of Tucker being fired (without cause, other than disobeying the imposed censorship).
Will also be interesting if Tucker goes hard against China, since Musk is so tied to them.

If Tucker is in violation of the contract, then the proper solution for Fox is to terminate the contract - not to claim that the contract remains in force no matter what and they can use the courts to keep it in force. It's as if you quit your job and your employer sent the Sherrif's dep't over to pick you up and make you go to work whether you wanted to or not.

The contract itself most likely sets out which state law governs and what is the proper venue for disputes.

If tucker just walked away Fox might have a breach of contract claim with damages for the viewers lost. However if he had a clause saying Fox couldn't intrude on editorial content and Fox attempted to do that then Fox is in breach. Any non compete clause would be dependent on who breached, and in any event would probably only be construed as keeping Tucker off cable tv, not what amounts to a podcast

148 Be interesting to see how Fox voluntarily terminating him affects the noncompete clause. They weren't paying him $10,000,000 to keep his thoughts to himself. Noncompete clauses generally operate to prevent someone from jumping ship. He was forced to walk the plank.

Fox is now actually paying Carlson to speak on Twitter as the corporate drones at Fox undermine and beclown themselves asserting that Carlson has no right to freely speak.
If every though thought that these "elites" are educated above their intelligence I think we now have definitive proof.

There is likely a streaming content portion of the contract. Fox posts content like this on the web.
I'd wager the argument is what constitutes personal content with show content, and/or was twitter named specifically.
Both sides (It's a sandwich!) assume they are correct, we will see who wins.

The DOJ referral for indictment was in Miami because the DOJ says it was issue of who had jurisdiction was cause for concern for the prosecution. Mostly because the DC area court used for the Grand Jury indictment referral already ruled that PRA can't violate the Espionage Act of 1917 - oopsie! There goes the prosecution!
So, special idiot prosecutor Smith had to go to Miami's Trump appointed judge for venue purposes, anywhere else would have gotten the "we can't try this!" - so ops, oopsie! Smith is fucked, most lawyers that aren't living in "Trump is gonna die!" dream land know it.

It would be ridiculous to say that he can't take himself and the content which Fox does not want to air to another publisher.
Governments could start banning books by paying publishers for a fund out of which they could pay for the rights to books and simply not publish them.

there's a statement out today from Tucker's producer in which he says that Twitter was specifically excluded from Tucker's contract, because Fox never considered it to be a competitor.
This is starting to look like Fox's legal team knows they're going to lose big, but they've been ordered to do it so they're going to make it look good until they crash and burn. Something similar to Oberlin College's high dollar legal team, which got totally pantsed by the little guys.

@234 if what Tucker 's lawyers say is true, specifically that Twitter was excluded, then any non compete clause is dead.
The issue of whether Fox wants to sue based upon breach of contract will depend on the facts as to the separation from employment.
