Tucker Carlson and his team have reached their limit with Fox News as exit negotiations have stalled and are ramping up a pressure campaign against the network to get Rupert Murdoch to release him from a noncompete clause.
The Daily Beast broke the story and said if Fox News continues to play hardball, Tucker and his team are prepared to bring the pain because they know where the ‘bodies are buried.’
There has been a series of devastating leaks to hit Fox News recently and the Daily Beast claims Tucker’s team is behind them and they are promising more if Fox News does not come to their senses.
“The hope is that Fox comes to their senses and realizes they can’t stop Tucker from speaking and doing his thing and if not that’s unfortunate and there would be some pain inflicted,” the report said.
According to The Daily Beast: “A steady stream of leaks about Fox News over the past week, designed to embarrass the network or further undermine its standing with conservative viewers, have come after negotiations between Carlson’s lawyers and Fox have stalled out.
“According to people familiar with the situation, Carlson and his team’s deep industrial knowledge of the network means they are sitting on a treasure trove of potentially damaging Fox secrets, including revelations about extramarital affairs and workplace misconduct.
Mary Margaret Olohan, Senior Reporter for the Daily Signal, reported on some embarrassing leaked internal Fox News documents this week. That publication is reportedly close to Tucker.
Olohan wrote on social media: “I obtained Fox’s policies on gender transition for employees. Fox employees are allowed to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, permitted to dress in alignment with their preferred gender, and must also be addressed by their preferred name and pronouns.
“Fox News devotes hours of programming to attacking ‘woke companies,’ but ironically Fox is as woke as the rest of them,” a former Fox News employee told me, emphasizing that Fox viewers would be “astonished to find out what the company is like.”
“When Dylan Mulvaney was first gaining prominence, Tucker Carlson Tonight producers had to fight Fox to refer to Mulvany with male pronouns in the show’s chyrons, I’m told.”
She spoke to other unhappy employees.
“They want you to think it’s this place that supports traditionally conservative values,” a former producer for “Tucker Carlson Tonight” said.
“But in reality, they’re pushing this nonsense behind the scenes.”
According to her report at The Daily Signal:
“A source who still works at Fox News told The Daily Signal that after Carlson’s show was canceled in April, producers for the new 8 p.m. “Fox News Tonight” program were told not to bash Mulvaney.
“That directive came from high-level executives, the source said.
Under the category “Gender Transition,” Fox’s employee handbook promises that the company is dedicated to “expanding and strengthening” efforts to “sustain a more inclusive work environment.”
“The Fox employee handbook is posted on Workday, where employees can see company guidelines or policies, a former employee told The Daily Signal.
“Employees who are transitioning their gender have the right to be open about their transition if they so choose, and to work in an environment free of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation, and without fear of consequences or transphobia for living openly,” the policy says.”

.@MattWalshBlog: “There’s no daylight at all between Fox News and MSNBC when it comes to gender. And I think that’s something that Fox’s viewers need to know.” https://t.co/yDNqnZkisz
