Tucker Carlson Accuses Fox of Fraud, Contract Violations in Scathing Letter
National Review ^ | 09 May 2023 | Caroline Downey

Posted on 05/10/2023 3:51:32 AM PDT by zeestephen

Fox violated a promise made to Carlson, the letter said, not to leak his private messages to the press or use them "to take any adverse employment action against him," the outlet added...The letter argues that Fox broke an agreement not to settle the lawsuit with Dominion "in a way which would indicate wrongdoing" by Carlson in the drama. Two sources told Axios that a member of the Fox board told Carlson his job was axed as a condition of the Dominion settlement.

I've been wondering if that was the case. Pretty stupid move by Fox if true.

Not stupid.

My bet this was planned for years ago. That it’s why News Corp was broken up.

As for FNC becoming the Bud Light of cable news...

Deep State no longer requires the fig leaf provided by a controlled opposition.

This is evil.

And the people behind it are far from stupid.

Last Fox stockholder meeting was November 2022.

I would suggest that at least one board member is leaving (if not two) before we reach November 2023.

For the record, Murdoch family owns around 43-percent, with Vanguard at 6.6-percent, Yackhtman at 3.6-percent, Dodge and Cox at 5-percent, and another ten-odd companies with 3-percent or less (2022 figures).

Peak quarterly revenue is in the 4.6-billion range (up until this Tucker episode). Just a humble guess, with lesser numbers...advertising will take a cut. His show however, was the money-maker for the schedule. If they take a one-quarter cut in profits...all the big owners are going to demand action.

They might be stupid enough to push the agenda and have Murdoch retire, and bring his son in as the new CEO.

The company that owns dominion is the same company that owns fox news.

So, they sued themselves.

Wouldn't be ironic if tucker got a huge settlement out of this and was free to create his own media empire.

Maybe related why they tried to take Newsmax off of direct TV? Maybe they’re connected as a pre-election attack on conservative messaging. Pure speculation on my part, but I wonder. I wouldn’t put it past this power abusing regime. Biden is right now plotting with the DOJ for his get out of jail free card.

The POTATUS can’t plot his way to the bathroom without help anymore.

He’s window dressing, not a co-conspirator.

Fox News stock is confusing. They have two stocks: Fox-A (FOXA) and Fox-B (FOX).

One of them involves Murdoch voting shares - and one does not.

Together, they have a market cap of $32.6 billion.

Individually, they are $15.6 billion and $17 billion.

Usually, just one of those stocks represents total market cap, so I will guess that Fox News is worth $17 billion.

Over the last four weeks, both Fox stocks have lost 10% of their value when compared to the S&P 500.

That is OK, The Phoenix might die, but it will be reborn in another stronger form, because the will of the people is to seek the truth, and they ain’t getting it from the Media. They got some from Fox, but not enough. I prefer to see my enemy coming head on, rather than sneaking up from behind me, which is the sons MO.

“Dominion Voting Systems Corporation was founded in 2002 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, by John Poulos and James Hoover, and was incorporated on January 14, 2003. The company develops proprietary software in-house and sells electronic voting hardware and software, including voting machines and tabulators, in the U.S. and Canada and employs a development team in its Serbian office. The company maintains headquarters in Toronto and in Denver, Colorado. Its name derives from the Dominion Elections Act.

“In May 2010, Dominion acquired Premier Election Solutions (formerly Diebold Election Systems, Inc.) from Election Systems & Software (ES&S). ES&S had just acquired Premier from Diebold and was required to sell off Premier by the United States Department of Justice over anti-trust concerns. In June 2010, Dominion acquired Sequoia Voting Systems.

“In 2018, Dominion was acquired by its management and Staple Street Capital, a private equity firm.”

“The co-founders of Staple Street Capital, Stephen D. Owens and Hootan Yaghoobzadeh, are veterans of The Carlyle Group and Cerberus Capital Management, respectively, and first worked together in Carlyle’s US Buyout Group starting in 1998.”

Maybe it will be revealed what the White House has on the Murdocks. Appears they were ordered to fire Tucker by the Obozo/Biden White House.
