Tucker Carlson is preparing to use his allies to put significant pressure on Fox News to let him work. But he also considers the establishment of his own media platform conceivable, sources close to him tell the US media site Axios.
Attorney Bryan Freedman, whom Carlson hired to represent his interests in the Fox News contract termination dispute, said:
The idea that anyone would silence Tucker and prevent him from speaking to his audience is beyond absurd.
The confrontation could reshape the conservative news world. Fox News, whose ratings have been plummeting since Carlson's firing 13 days ago, wants to sideline him by paying him $20 million a year not to work.
However, Axios has learned that Carlson is planning a media empire of his own. However, for this he needs Fox News to release him from his contract, which expires in January 2025, that is, after the presidential election, which is a central event in the American news world.
Those close to the host say he is also considering creating a direct-to-consumer medium where millions of fans could pay to watch him.
[Tucker Carlson] knows where a bunch of bodies are buried and he's ready to start drawing the map
said a source close to Carlson, who was not authorized to speak publicly.
Carlson's allies are preparing to "attack" Fox News for trying to keep him off the air. According to his team, those who want the presenter in their ranks, such as Newsmax, are showing an increasingly urgent attitude, which shows even more how great the demand is for the star of the right-wing media, Magyar Nemzet reports.
