"Fox News Wednesday notified Tucker Carlson's lawyers that the former prime-time anchor violated his contract with the network when he launched his own Twitter show on Tuesday, according to a copy of a letter obtained by Axios.
Why it matters: A breach of contract claim sets Fox News up to explore potential legal action against Carlson, a move that would intensify the already thorny public battle between the two parties."

(997 posts)At the very least he needs a platform to keep his name out there. If he fades into the background (which Fox seems to been keen on having happen) it destroys any value his public persona has. The worst thing that could happen to Tucker is that his fans move on from him to someone else.
