Since the agreement was announced FOX News fired Tucker Carlson, lost at least half of its audience, and watched left-wing publications leak out Tucker Carlson videos that were captured during discovery in the lawsuit.
Now FOX News is threatening to kill the deal after the Tucker Carlson videos were released to the public.
The Daily Mail reported:
[Fox News demanded that Dominion Voting Systems conduct an internal investigation to determine whether it was responsible for the leak of damning text messages sent by former anchor Tucker Carlson.
Recently, Fox wrote Dominion saying evidence documents it provided to the company during recent litigation had been ‘disclosed to media organizations and published for mass consumption.’
Fox asked Dominion to launch an internal probe to ‘investigate and confirm that you are not the source of these improper disclosures.’ The outlet wrote that if Dominion were behind the leak, it would violate ‘the text and spirit of the parties agreement,’ according to The Hill.
In April, Fox agreed to pay Dominion a $787 million defamation settlement over false claims the outlet pushed about the integrity of the company’s voting machines during the 2020 presidential election.
Some of Carlson’s messages provided to Dominion during legal proceedings had previously been released, but since the settlement was announced, a number of unreleased and redacted messages – were leaked to the media.
Those messages included Carlson telling a producer that a video of three people attacking a victim around January 6, 2021, were not ‘how white men fight.’
Another leak included texts showing Carlson had used the ‘C-word’ to refer to a colleague.]

“showing Carlson had used the ‘C-word’ to refer to a colleague”
Communist?
Why would Dominion Voting Systems have Tucker’s texts ? Aren’t they just for voting ?
I am sure that Dominion will do an honest investigation.
LOL
Fox: “It wasn’t us who tried to smear him. Honest!”
For some reason this suggests to me that faux is feeling the sting of lost viewership.
Wouldn’t this be a wild, Machiavellian plan. Fox claims the settlement is invalid, related to this Tucker leak.
Sounds like they want TC to pay the bill.
“Why would Dominion Voting Systems have Tucker’s texts?”
I suspect was part of the impending lawsuit which also tells me removing Tucker was part of the agreement.
“Those messages included Carlson telling a producer that a video of three people attacking a victim around January 6, 2021, were not ‘how white men fight.’”
What is controversial about that statement? It’s true. Is it because it is a statement that stands up for white people? I will not be disparaged for being white, particularly if I am expected to show no recourse.
The Murdochs are undermining America.
maybe...
Corporate Stooge?
Communist?
Minus the “omm-is”🤭
Agree.
(Puts on tinfoil hat)
* Fox loses case leading to judgement
* Fox makes a deal with Dominion to fire Tucker
* Dominion releases video supplied by Fox
* Fox does something to get the judgement dismissed
Everyone’s happy.
“Millions of Americans sincerely love Donald Trump. They love him in spite of everything they’ve heard. They love him, often, in spite of himself. They’re not deluded. They know exactly who Trump is. They love him anyway. They love Donald Trump because no one else loves them. The country they built, the country their ancestors fought for over hundreds of years, has left them to die in unfashionable little towns, mocked and despised by the sneering halfwits with finance degrees — but no actual skills — who seem to run everything all of a sudden. Whatever Donald Trump’s faults, he is better than the rest of the people in charge. At least he doesn’t hate them for their weakness. Donald Trump, in other words, is and has always been a living indictment of the people who run this country. That was true four years ago when he came out of nowhere to win the presidency. And it’s every bit as true right now, maybe even more true than it’s ever been. It will remain true regardless of whether Donald Trump wins reelection.”
“Ilhan Omar has an awful lot to be grateful for, but she isn’t grateful, not at all. After everything America has done for Omar and for her family, she hates this country more than ever . . . Omar isn’t disappointed in America, she’s enraged by it. Virtually every public statement she makes accuses Americans of bigotry and racism. This is an immoral country, she says. She has undisguised contempt for the United States and for its people. That should worry you, and not just because Omar is now a sitting member of Congress. Ilhan Omar is living proof that the way we practice immigration has become dangerous to this country. A system designed to strengthen America is instead undermining it. Some of the very people we try hardest to help have come to hate us passionately. Maybe that’s our fault for asking too little of our immigrants. We aren’t self-confident enough to make them assimilate, so they never feel fully American. Or maybe the problem is deeper than that, maybe we are importing people from places whose values are simply antithetical to ours. Who knows what the problem is, but there is a problem, and whatever the cause, this cannot continue. It’s not sustainable. No country can import large numbers of people who hate it and expect to survive. The Romans were the last to try that, with predictable results. So, be grateful for Ilhan Omar, annoying as she is. She’s a living fire alarm, a warning to the rest of us that we better change our immigration system immediately, or else.”
“Why are the people who consider Bill Clinton a hero lecturing me about sexism? How can the party that demands racial quotas denounce other people as racist?”
