Fox Begs Media Matters to Stop Releasing Embarrassing Tucker Videos
Lawyers for Rupert Murdoch’s Fox Corporation sent a sternly worded letter to media watchdog organization Media Matters for America on Friday, demanding it stop drip-feeding embarrassing behind-the-scenes videos of Tucker Carlson.
The leaked clips have, among other things, shown Carlson asking Piers Morgan about sexual techniques, trashing Fox’s own streaming service, and making creepy comments about “premenopausal” fans and women having pillow fights.
“The unaired footage is FOX’s confidential intellectual property,” the company’s lawyers wrote to Media Matters. “FOX did not consent to its distribution or publication; and FOX does not consent to its further distribution or publication. This proprietary material was given to you without FOX’s authorization.
