BLUF: Tucker Carlson’s firing from Fox News remains unresolved as he continues to broadcast on Twitter, while Fox demands that he stop. His debut on Twitter has garnered significant viewership, but both sides have refrained from taking legal action. Fox seems inclined to keep Carlson off the air for the duration of his contract, resulting in diminishing returns for both parties. Publicly, Carlson’s lawyers assert that he will not be silenced, arguing that Fox breached its contract with him first. However, the First Amendment does not protect a person’s relationship with their employer, and a network can legally silence an employee. Carlson’s legal strategy seems focused on embarrassing Fox rather than winning in court, using the Dominion settlement as leverage. However, this attempt may fail as following Trump’s base too far into conspiracy theories has proven detrimental to Fox’s reputation.
