Previously, Carlson said he had planned to sit-down with the Russia president while at Fox News but then called it off claiming the U.S. government was monitoring him.
“I tried to interview Vladimir Putin, and the U.S. government stopped me,” Carlson told the Swiss publication, Die Weltwoche back in September. “By the way, nobody defended me. I don’t think there was anybody in the news media who said, ‘Wait a second. I may not like this guy, but he has a right to interview anyone he wants, and we have a right to hear what Putin says.'”
I’d love to know who’s footing the bill for his trip.
Also, I thought the terms of is foxnews contract were such that he isn’t supposed to be doing any news anchoring type gigs - did something change?
I don’t think he works at Fox anymore, he’s got own thing going now in internet TV shit or something like that.
Sure, but I meant that after he was fired, he was/is still beholden to several contractual terms about non-competes for a set amount of time.
That is probably true and that is why he is doing his shit on twitter. Turns out that its very hard to enforce these contracts if nobody involved cares about the rules.
Fuck Tucker Carlson but also fuck non compete clauses, no one should care about them. I could be wrong, but I recall seeing something about them not even being enforceable anyways. A leaving worker can’t give up trade secrets or confidential information regardless of a non-compete, so the company already has protection for the stuff that’s justifiable.
I don’t even think Elon is paying since Tucker announced he was moving to his own streaming platform. But maybe this will be a Twitter video?
