Fox News sent a cease and desist letter to Tucker Carlson, demanding that their former host stop publishing “Tucker on Twitter.” This follows the network’s claim that Carlson violated his contract by posting his first straight-to-camera monologue on the social media platform on June 6. Reportedly, despite being off the air, Carlson is still under contract with Fox through Dec. 31, 2024.
It is not clear whether this means Fox owns Carlson’s ability to express his views on current events. Plenty of journalists and political commentators post their opinions and analysis on Twitter in addition to the content they create for their employers. When Fox made the contract violation claim, Carlson’s lawyer Bryan Freedman told Axios, “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.”
Following the cease and desist, Hartmeet Dhillon, who also represents Carlson, told Axios, “Fox News continues to ignore the interests of its viewers, not to mention its shareholder obligations.” Her statement continued, “Doubling down on the most catastrophic programming decision in the history of the cable news industry, Fox is now demanding that Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election.”
The big question should be why Fox desperately wants Carlson out of the public discourse. Chadwick Moore, Carlson’s authorized biographer, reported that Fox taking Carlson off the air was part of the channel’s settlement with Dominion. Carlson’s official Twitter account retweeted that report. Variety posted a similar report.

Carlson criticized the war in Ukraine and took on the sexualization of children, which appears to be sanctioned by our elites.

Because they are controlled opposition and were ordered to do so.
Precise and to the point.
Fox is supremely jealous of Tucker’s 6.6 video’s 100 million-plus views.
Why? Truth.
Why? Well it starts with a T and ends with ruth. Fox is obviously scared of another Trump Presidency and Truth is what Trump is all about.
He got 3 million viewers on Fox News vs over 100 million on Twitter.

He has interviews with Jan 6th people he was going to release before he was fired. Along with other things damaging to fox.
You ain’t wrong
I can’t imagine what the deep-state promised to FOX, or threatened them with - to get FOX to destroy their audience base and to ruin themselves.
Correct
FOX fired him with pay, and they are now finding ways to get out of paying him. It’s millions of dollars they are trying to save.
Could be something simple, like reminding Murdoch he was on Epstein's travel log...or something similar.
Control, it's all about control.
Tucker Carlson opposed all of the “official narratives” and that cannot be allowed in 1984.
Dang, I miss bagster already 😢😥😞
Anti-Trump operation.
It’s only going to get worse as the 2024 election nears.
Bans, censorship, maybe more arrests.
We are under crypto-totalitarianism and it’s not so crypto.
