(Townhall) Former Fox News host Tucker Carlson is reportedly planning on launching his media network following his abrupt ousting from his talk show.
According to sources close to Carlson, the conservative is ready to fight Fox News into letting him work for or start a right-wing media rival. He is currently stuck in a contract with the news network, which expires in January 2025 — after the presidential election.
To keep Carlson silent, Fox has reportedly offered to pay him $20 million per year despite not working for them any longer.
Carlson’s attorney, Bryan Freedman, told Axios that “the idea that anyone is going to silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience is beyond preposterous.”
Axios pointed out that Tucker vs. Fox could reshape the conservative news world.
