Attorneys representing Fox News are threatening legal action against the liberal media watchdog Media Matters for America for airing leaked behind-the-scenes clips showing the network’s now-former host Tucker Carlson.
The letter from Fox attorneys is in response to a series of stories published in recent days by MMFA, the liberal pressure group founded by Democratic Party operative David Brock, under the headline “Foxleaks.”
The footage shows Carlson, the highly rated primetime cable host who was dismissed by Fox News on April 24, during commercial breaks making comments denigrating the network.
MMFA’s most recent installment of “Foxleaks” shows Carlson having makeup applied by a Fox News staffer, who is asked by the host if “pillow fights ever break out” in the women’s bathroom.
“That unaired footage is Fox’s confidential intellectual property,” attorneys for Fox News’ parent company, Fox Corp., wrote in their letter to Angelo Carusone, the head of MMFA.

“PUT THAT TOOTHPASTE BACK IN THE TUBE!!!”
its making us look bad
Who at Fox keeps leaking it?
I guess the leak that Fox provided was not getting enough attention so they (Fox) decided to bump it to the top.
“Fair and Balanced”, hahahahahahaha! 😂😂😂
Fox has self destructed, goodbye!
Take a look at Megan Kelly’s podcast on YouTube, she names the person as Irina Briganti who is head of PR for Fox News and supposedly has a real hatred for Tucker Carlson
Ya, some exec goes rogue and then Tucker’s lawyers point out that the “no slander” clause works both ways.
Could mean he's a free agent AND Fox owes him money?
Translated— Tuckers lawyers have threatened legal action
Those clips are gold! I’ve enjoyed every one of them and think more highly of Tucker now than ever!
Yes.
FOX is realizing that the videos they’ve provided to Media Matters and the NYT are making them look bad, so now they are trying to pretend that they weren’t the ones doing the “leaking”.
Tucker should do a best of “Tucker Leaks” list. This stuff makes me smile. Nothing like free publicity for a guy about to change his job space. FOX. The he Budlite of news programming. 🥴
I said from day one that it was not Fox Corp leaking these.
Fox wanted Tucker to look bad. Instead the leaks make us like him more.
democrat knob gobbler David Brock.
How did media Matters get this stuff.
Fox News thinks we are STUPID, of course media matters got the clips from Fox where the hell else would they come from!! The whole trashing Tucker backfired big time ratings sank even more NOW they want us to believe media matters did this WITHOUT Fox ……..NOT!!!
