Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Fox Notifies Tucker Carlson That Posting a Ten Minute Monologue on Twitter Breaches His ContractWhy it matters: A breach of contract claim sets Fox News up to explore potential legal action against Carlson, a move that would intensify the already thorny public battle between the two parties. Carlson's lawyers told Axios that any legal action by Fox would violate his First Amendment rights. "Fox defends its very existence on freedom of speech grounds. Now they want to take Tucker Carlson's right to speak freely away from him because he took to social media to share his thoughts on current events," said Carlson's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, in a statement to Axios.Tucker's motivation -- I speculate without evidence -- might have been to post a completely legal video, to induce Fox to declare he's in breach, so that Tucker can now say, "According to Fox, the contract is over, so I'm going ahead with my show. And I'm going to sue them for voiding the contract without cause so I can get my $25 million." I have no idea if this makes any sense. Tucker's Twitter debut garnered 70 million views.

Non compete clauses are strictly construed against the employer. They have to be reasonable and limited in time and scope. They must specifically describe what exactly is "competition" and have a specific geographic limit. I can't imagine a non-compete clause that would prevent Tucker from doing a selfie video in his basement and posting it on Twitter to the entire world would survive any of those restrictions.

Even if the vast majority of the 70 million views is fake -- say 90% -- that STILL would leave Tucker with 7 million views -- triple what Fox is doing and probably 7000% higher than CNN.

This is the typical leftist maneuver: If you observe a fact of leftist behavior and criticize it, you're engaging in "conspiracy theories and lies." But if you observe that same fact of leftist behavior and praise it, you're telling the truth. The truth or falsity of the observation depends entirely not on the external objective facts but only whether you are praising the left or criticizing it when noting the fact.

I'm guessing not only Tucker's lawyers, but Elon's too, looked over his contract in detail, and saw that nothing Tucker did violated his contract. They could probably even go a step further and say that Fox people always post stuff on Twitter without approval of management, so it's therefore not considered the same as having a show.
Fox may not want to open the pandoras box that comes along with a lawsuit, as then information about him being taken off the air goes public, and if it has anything to do with the Dominion suit, that seems like a a recipe for both Fox and Dominion to lose a few hundred million each, since having someone removed for something that had nothing to do with them seems like a clear case of wrongful termination.

Because he's doing a job that by union contract should never be done by the guy on the screen. Same reason that your union electrician will never cut open the wall to get the wires he's trying to fix: cutting open the wall and then fixing the resulting hole is some other trade union's job. I'm sure Tater intended to imply that he was either doing a job that was beneath him, or that he could get anyone to work for him, but really it stems from the union thing.

67 I think Fox had a pretty poor case, especially depending on the wording of the contract. My guess is that they did not mention doing social media stuff, only major news organizations and outlets. Fox will argue that there's an assumed penumbra but no judge worth a damn will buy that in contract law.

I'm sure Tater intended to imply that he was either doing a job that was beneath him, or that he could get anyone to work for him, but really it stems from the union thing.
Posted by: FeatherBlade at June 08, 2023 12:58 PM (ou9hh) ++++ Some it is also probably incompetence and envy. If you've ever been in front of a camera reading off a Prompter, you know it's actually a bit more tricky than it looks. You have to read ahead, process phonetic spellings, remember where you are when you cut to tape, etc. It actually takes a fair amount of focus to use a Prompter successfully. Having to run that prompter yourself is just yet more complexity, and another thing to keep track of without losing stride. It doesn't take brilliance, but you do have to pay a *lot* of attention to pull it off. I doubt Stelter could do it. He's very, very stupid and, more importantly, extremely coddled.

I'm not a lawyer, so I really don't know. Isn't it considered constructive dismissal to stop scheduling someone for their job? I'm assuming Tucker isn't hourly, but I'd guess his contract has some sort of bonuses for shows that get a certain viewership number or share. If Tucker isn't allowed to do shows, then it makes it impossible for him to attempt to fulfill that part of his contract.

I knew someone in a very high profile position that was in a similar situation of being in a non-compete.

All cable "sneewz" has been losing audience in huge chunks at least since the last election. That includes Fox, who simply manage to stay at the top of the dying carcass. People simply don't want what they're selling, which is catering to a specific conformation bias. Tucker changed that. He went old school and took on the stories and angles nobody else would pursue. He used simple logic and reason that most people could follow, and posed questions which challenged the prevailing narratives. That is, he didn't follow the crowd, he questioned the basis of their arguments which was almost always poorly sourced and backed only by their sycophants. I think Tucker going to Twitter will finally put the final nail in the mainstream media, and they know it. No talent, fat, pillow biting, buffet raiding mental midgets like Stetler can't live in a world where you have to actually form arguments, present proof and defend them. Pretty soon they're gonna find him face down in the pancake vat at IHOP.

"The gun lobby says we can't stop the carnage America now experiences every day without violating the 2nd Amendment – that thoughts and prayers are the best we can do… that's a lie," Newsom said in a statement. The amendment "permanently enshrines" four gun measures that Newsom claims have broad support. This includes raising the minimum age to purchase a firearm to 21. "Because if you can't buy a beer, you shouldn't be able to buy a gun," Newsom said in a video posted to YouTube. It would also mandate universal background checks, institute waiting periods for all gun purchases, & ban assault rifles. "Those weapons of war our founding fathers never foresaw," Newsom said. The governor asked supporters to go to campaignfordemocracy.com (Gavin Newsom PAC) to sign a petition. Posted by: BetaCuck4Lyfe at June 08, 2023 01:11 PM (MFZ8i) 159
I'm going with: Tucker was willing to live and let live when it came to the remainder of his contract with Fox. However, I'm also betting Fox will now have the privilege of paying the remainder of Tucker's contract. Plus, perhaps, whatever other money Tucker's lawyers can wring out of Fox.

Gavin Newsom
@GavinNewsom NEW: I’m proposing the 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution to help end our nation’s gun violence crisis. The American people are sick of Congress’ inaction. The 28th will enshrine 4 widely supported gun safety freedoms -- while leaving the 2nd Amendment intact: 1) Raising the minimum age to purchase a gun to 21 2) Universal background checks 3) A reasonable waiting period for gun purchases 4) Banning the civilian purchase of assault weapons Video: twitter.com/GavinNewsom/status/1666784034406666241 0:04 / 2:11 5:27 AM · Jun 8, 2023 Posted by: BetaCuck4Lyfe at June 08, 2023 01:12 PM (MFZ8i) 162

If only TWO PERCENT of Tuckers 70m views were legit individuals who watched the whole damn video until the end, then that's equal to his old FNC ratings, and THREE TIMES AS MANY viewers than CNN averaged across primetime in May; even higher multiple in the demo as Twitter skews younger than traditional cable.

@133 bonhomme, from what I have read Tucker got a guarantee from Fox not to interfere in his content. Allegedly they told him he couldn't do a topic (Ray Epps?) and he walked away. The question is who breached the contract first. If it's true what fix did they breached, if not tucker did by walking away. In either event I don't think they can stop him from what he is doing but if fox is correct they may argue damages

I don't mean to quibble, and Ace used the word "fake" too, but that's not the issue. There's some willful fraud in the raw 70m view count, maybe statistically significant, but it's not a huge concern. The problem is ignoring multiple views by the same person, and counting anyone who watches just a few seconds as a viewer. There's no filtering with appropriate minimum qualifications.

Stelter and the world's oldest teenager are being incredibly petty in their criticisms - and appear to be missing the point entirely. The left in general likes to conflate the trappings of professionalism with professionalism itself. Tater can't imagine a TV show without an expensive studio and a crew of at least a dozen, while 13 year olds on Twitch were drawing bigger audiences than him 8 years ago.

Even if the vast majority of the 70 million views is fake -- say 90% -- that STILL would leave Tucker with 7 million views -- triple what Fox is doing and probably 7000% higher than CNN.

It was pretty enjoyable -- he has a good sense of humor, and didn't know that he (and O'Reilly, for whom he worked) really went after judges who were letting child rapists out of prison with slaps on the wrists ... before it was cool. Funniest part was that his mom -- a dyed in the wool liberal -- would text him with mostly complaints and criticisms when he appeared on "The View."

I not too long ago discovered the Reddit for my city. And while it's always been filled with useless, mentally ill, city folk, the responses to this slightly sepia tone covering the adjacent NYC is hilarious.
One made a part "OMG is this our future?" And then posted about how this will now be common..... despite it being the first time it's happened. Another said they feel like they're in a war zone... because it's a little yellow and smells like a BBQ. Still a different lunatic talked about how this is giving them anxiety...and stuff they said makes me assume its a 20 year old, who I'll also guess is afraid of rain and slight breezes.

The format Tucker used means you have to actually form arguments, state conclusions and once he has guests, defend them. There are no circus distractions to make up for your lack of anything cogent or defensible. No "breaking" news or state sponsored commercials about the COVID vaccine. It's all under his control. Let that sink in for a moment. It vitiates their entire control of the narrative.

‘The FBI is attempting a coverup, and Democrats are doing their bidding by lying to the American people,’ Rep. James Comer told The Federalist. It’s not true. It wasn’t closed down,” William Barr told The Federalist on Tuesday in response to Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin’s claim that the former attorney general and his “handpicked prosecutor” had ended an investigation into a confidential human source’s allegation that Joe Biden had agreed to a $5 million bribe. “On the contrary,” Barr stressed, “it was sent to Delaware for further investigation.”

Correct me if I'm wrong but Tucker was saying we should be reporting on these things and trying to find the truth as opposed to ignoring them. I don't think he proclaimed any of the topics as settled.
Posted by: Inogame at June 08, 2023 01:30 PM (53oGX) Sorry, the media has declared this topic taboo. No one is permitted to discuss the matter.

@296: "YouTube recently started publicly showing the most-rewound parts of videos ..."
A feature made popular by the porn industry before YouTube jumped on the bandwagon. Seriously! As far as not all videos, there needs to be a minimum view count and common pattern to the viewing pattern. For example, pop culture and sports video with ad reads have a common pattern since so many people manually skip past those. Product and movie review videos have lots of people skipping to the conclusion. But news and documentary videos won't show the timeline graph if people seem to be randomly skipping all over the place. Posted by: Walter Freeman at June 08, 2023 01:42 PM (k1Qly) 337

Many a 14 year old lied about their age to join up and fight during WWII. This was not uncommon. Also, most 16 year old HS graduates had better math, reading a reasoning skills than todays 18 year old graduates.

I watch a couple of YouTube's that don't seem to have much in the way of staff. What makes them interesting is the sheer amount of prep work that goes into them (They're both history.) The Metatron especially seems to spend hours on hours reading up on the topic and consults original sources. (Bastard reads and speaks both classical Latin and classical Greek.) TuCa seems to put as much effort into researching and double checking his resources. I think that's what keeps TuCa well ahead of the ordinary talking heads: he actually knows what the bloody hell he's talking about.

What are there now, like 25 Republicans running for President, including that dog catcher from North Dakota? And about 90% of them are working for the Dems.

> If confirmed AI I will expect an apology from the DeSantis team.
Definitely. If they did it inadvertently, an apology will cover it for me, because that stuff is getting good enough that honest mistakes can be made (and Fauxci DID serve under Trump, after all... it's totally believable that there are pics of them schmoozing). On the other hand, if it was intentional... that would give me grave doubts about the integrity of the DeSantis team. By the way, I see that Schitt "Ziplock Bag of Hair Gel" Romney, Fat Fatty, and Great Value Race Bannon have all announced. Have I missed any?

They didn't create the alleged AI images that were mixed in with real photos but they did tweet them out. If confirmed AI I will expect an apology from the DeSantis team.
Posted by: polynikes at June 08, 2023 02:06 PM (MNhXM) The way they were used in the video it was hard to tell, but looking at the single images they were obviously not photographs, looked more like photo-realistic painting. Somebody knew, and yes if some sort of "those responsible were terminated" doesn't come out, Ron's stock is dropping at least for me. Of course, it'll also open the doors for some absolute hysteria in the coming months. Posted by: clutch cargo - processed in a facility that may contain lead at June 08, 2023 02:11 PM (zB/T/) 495

Not yet. Current revenue sharing will be based on promoted tweets and ads that are placed above or below the video being watched. Posted by: Walter Freeman at June 08, 2023 02:12 PM (k1Qly) 500

I think the Tucker thing come down to "Did he get Paid?"
If he made money using his skills which he was under contract to Fox then they can bitch but if he did this without remuneration I think they are going to lose. Posted by: pawn at June 08, 2023 02:14 PM (kYVzH) 502

Yup. Production flash and nice sets are *very* nice to have, and they make a good production better. They cannot make a bad production good. Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!) at June 08, 2023 01:42 PM (DU+/6) Remember at the beginning of the China Lung Rot crisis when a bunch of VERY famous pundits and journalists were getting roasted for buying cloth backdrops from Amazon showing them in a home "library" when they were actually broadcasting from their laundryroom?

Was Tucker paid for this?
No? Then he is simply engaged in free speech. What's the difference between having a tweet, an e-mail, or a video rant get shared on social media? Tucker might have low balled this effort just so he could claim "hey, this is me just talking, hence I can't be in breach of contract." His contract might have a no compete clause, but if no money is changing hands, how is he competing? Does it have a no free speech clause?

The way Twitter lists 'views' does get a little squirrely sometimes. But based on what I'm seeing here:
-More than 106,000,000 have at least gone his page in the last 45 hours. -And more than 22,500,000 have actually viewed his 10 minute monolog. That 22+ million number is about 8 times more than his nightly viewer number on Fox. AND it's about 35 TIMES MORE than CNN's primetime viewing numbers. But yeah, the cowardly elitists in media think the production quality wasn't any good. Posted by: Forheremenaremen at June 08, 2023 03:06 PM (VOHuN) 509

More than $15k can be earned online by performing straightforward tasks from home. In the previous month, I got $18376. Even a young child may do this job and make money because it is so simple to complete and has higher pay than typical office occupations. Everyone needs to try this task by using the information on this page. https://Easymoney520.blogspot.com/ Posted by: Cindy Fry at June 09, 2023 07:49 AM (8pVGb) Processing 0.08, elapsed 0.0983 seconds. |
